So if I bought out even at t minus 5 months all of my Skywest savings for the first year expenses would be blown. There are other complications as well some good and some bad.
This is almost identical to the spot I was in. Challenger 601 school was expensive. Also went to school for King Airs and had to pay the company back when I left early. But I never looked back. In 10 years, you're not going to remember that money. You will regret spinning your wheels and not having upward progression. And you'll really regret giving up seniority.
