If you're stuck at your current company with no end in sight, and looking to make a lateral move, or commuting to one of our bases, cqfo trans states might be for you. Where else can you start over making at least $43/hour? If you are comfy where you are and have a line with good QOL, this may not be for you.

Bottom line: will you be happy making a lateral move for $43/hour where you will get some TPIC, but perhaps sit right seat 80% of the time?
