Nope. I make more now as a 2nd year FO with five more days off per month. Oh, for the record everyone I fly with ALWAYS ask where I was before. Their response generally is "Who is that?" or "Oh, is that the Hawaiian operation?" The few that have heard of GoJet couldn't care less. Oh but wait, this will bite my butt later in my career, right? Ok, I'll take that chance and I'll take my 15 years in this business and my 10K hours up against your know-it-all entitlement attitude anytime.
It's a fine thead you weave as older folks leave (many being on hiring committees) and more new blood hits from regionals; things will change. Glad it worked for you. I'm sure the furloughed trans states guys are clapping with cheer.
