Hmmm. I'd say that would put me 60% toward making the jump. The key would be how sure is that street captain position? Is it based off of etherial growth like the Air Wisky DL deal that apparently didn't happen?

Can they even staff the growth they claim they have? What happens if they can't? Some regionals downgrade Captains they actually need…just because they don't have enough FO's to fly the schedule.

PIC time is great, and always better than not having any. Starting over always sucks though, and the regional industry is pretty brutal and inherently unstable. Force multiply that with zero seniorityand it becomes pretty risky. However the folks that left stable regionals early for Compass (and to a lesser extent a few others) easily "seniority jumped" (as some put it) the entire industry.

Tough call. You said Trans States? The pay you mentioned doesn't match with what APC says they pay, so its hard to say. If it was a stable regional with for sure growth, I'd lean toward going. If it was some wing and a prayer EAS 1900 operator, I'd stick it out where I was at.
