I flew for one bad place and three pretty good places. It only took me one bad job to figure out what to look for. The REALLY sad thing is the one bad job I had still paid 20 percent more than industry average regional FO pay.... and the work rules were decent.
Ohhhh, but I forgot..... I wasn't flying a Jet! Strange how an 8500 lbs, single engine, freight hauler pays better than a 70 pax FO.
I left my first 135 gig because they were losing business, unfortunately. I left my second for the regionals for QOL reasons, can you believe it? The QOL things actually are working out, so I am happy with the switch. That and I have someone to talk to when I am flying for a change!
