If the company gets its way and doesn't hire again for years then jumping ship to do 4 days again will be vastly superior to being TDY'd involuntarily for half the year. Hopefully hiring resumes at some point but if its slow then be cautioned your experience could be similar
That sucks. I won't be disrespectful like justwatching and say sucks to be junior, but in your shoes, I'd consider spirit. Their contract blows ours away now, and they are still growing, getting new planes. Until Maury retires, this company isn't going anywhere. You may realistically be stagnant for the next 2-3 years the way things are going here. If you're at the bottom of this list, you really have nothing to lose by leaving, and a lot to lose by hanging on.
