I'm at three years on property, in the left seat, and if I don't work a single hour above guarantee this year I'll gross $196,000 and I'm at near the bottom in Airbus compensation. Had I stayed at NJA I'd be a 10 year FO making $92,400 for a close to equivalent number of days/month. Why anyone without a felony conviction is working at NJA/Flex is beyond my comprehension.
Didn't you lose on things (that might not be important to you) like healthcare, vacations, 401K?
