1.) Keep your job until Fall.
2.) Get a 2k-6k bonus.
3.) Get your vax paid out.
4.) Get your sick time paid out.
5.) Get Delta travel benefits for 2 years.
6.) Get your ATP and Type paid for by Pinnacle.
7.) Get 3 months of pay after furlough
8.) Health care for 3 months.
So you get what above or keep your current job for less than a year, let the company shut down, have no benefits at all and be on the street with 2000 other guys that are a lot more qualified than you, fighting for a job.
Do the math.
You're absolutely right. As long as you know that you are just a DL puppet and the repercussions will follow you throughout your career. Short term, are you better off, yup. (I'm assuming you're senior.) And I suppose that's all that matters right now.
When you're looking for another job in a few years and see the pay and benes at the next regional you're looking at (before your number has come up for a guaranteed interview or you didn't get hired) then you might have a different reaction.
