Thanks for the input guys. To be perfectly honest I'm leaning towards LCC. Bus time sounds great, esp with better schedules, more efficient pairings and commutability.

Can those who, or have friends who went to a legacy carrier without pic time please chime in on their journey, education, experience levels. Just curious how long one would hang at an LCC before moving on without pic time assuming they could get hired before upgrading considering upgrade times seem to be in the 3-5 year range at the moment.
