Thanks for all the input, here is what I’ve come up with. First of all, I was leaning towards taking the job; I understand I’m fortunate to be in this predicament. As much as Delta is my first choice, I cannot afford to get to comfortable here. The problem I see with regional’s is that people start to gain seniority, upgrade to captain, make good money, and not want to leave for anywhere except their #1 choice. While this is ok for some who are older, I feel that I don’t want to be in this situation. I don’t want to be stuck in the rut I’m about to fall into by sticking it out a Pinnacle (personal choice) and be at the mercy of the mainline company and hope they continue to “use” us. With the pay and the contract at NK, I will be back up to what I make now by 2nd year pay, no question. Also, holding a line as an FO making what I was making as RSV CA is a huge increase in QOL as far as I’m concerned. I think the experience will also help me in my career moving forward as well.
