And since with the exception of some of the ex-Onejet guys live in base, not having to commute to work is major QOL factor.
It’s a personal choice.
I agree, it's a personal choice. As I mentioned before, it's a great company and they treat pilots really well.
New payscales at regionals like skywest will take you to that pay in 18 months, and first year pay with the bonuses is quite close actually. If instead of comparing year to year you do the math for a 3-5 year mark, you see the difference.
Anyways. Happy Contour employee here
