I can see your point Braniff but a 2nd yr FO who could he based in FL within months of training will make more than a cpt at xtra ever will. This includes the B fund and profit sharing. Just in pay alone it would be close. Combine this with the fact that Xtra moves it's bases around constantly and senority means nothing I find this a hard sale that Xtra would be a better fit.
To each their own and I'm glad you found a place after a long search I can only postulate.
