Overall I am happy with my decision but as we all know...ya never know if ya made the right decision till the end of your career, by then it won’t matter.
I'm glad you are happy with your decision. Couple of questions. Why is QOL better besides you are living in base? What is the upgrade time anticipated for you? I know the payscale is higher but pilots hired mid to late 2015 here are CAs now making 200 plus an hour so you probably lost some money as of now but not in the long run. The profit sharing is nice as is the big company resources. NK will be 15% DC retirement by DOS+4 I'm sure United is still a little better. Just trying to guage/compare how green the other side really is as a lot of us have no intention of leaving.
