There are only so many regional pilots the mainline carriers have to pick from. If we do not get a quality contract here, it makes no financial sense to be here considering the difference in career earnings a pilot could have at a legacy.
Many don't realize what a huge difference in your retirement a DC makes compared to the 9% match we have.
Even if you are in your mid 40's, you can still retire at AA in the top 1000.
No need to flame me just because I think my financial security will be better at an airline that pays way more and has a better retirement.
