The better job in terms of pay, schedule, vacation, QOL, security, retirement, and self respect is line pilot. And by a HUGE margin. In this market, taking a FQS job over any other slot at a major is beyond foolish and it is my opinion that the guys getting on nowadays aren't legacy material. Even so, there are so many non-legacy jobs that trump the FQS gig that you have to wonder what these guys are thinking taking this job. Especially since the pilot group has getting them out of the flight deck as a top priority and made gains in this last contract in that direction.
