Now because of that I'm looking at having to do some more time at a regional before I can hit the legacy jackpot.
However I'd probably do the same thing if I had to do it over. At the time I left Eagle I had never sniffed a line. (3 years on RSV) 3 different bases and 2 planes. When I left I tripled my pay and would just now be equaling what I make now if I stayed at Eagle.
The QOL is where I'm looking too. And this isn't a bottom shelf offer either. Lear 75s and Gulfstreams. The pay starts at 2nd year American FO pay. I believe the "shortage" is starting to effect the low and mid level corporate jobs like this one. It's the only reason I think they even interviewed me with the hours I have. (1050) Either way I go though, I'm in a good position I think.
