I guess things to consider would be bonuses, pay-scales, open time, etc...
Not saying is the right reason to choose a carrier but....
If you hustle you can make 6 figures your first year at ZW with the bonuses. Hourly kinda sucks but open time pickups are at 150% and critical is 200%. Savvy bidders were getting 150+ hours of credit a month. I've heard rumors of 200. Captain upgrade in a year(ish), likely 6 figures year two if you hustle to make up for the training months. YMMV, upgrade time may increase, open time reduced, etc. It's all a guessing game really. Past performance is not an indication of future results etc.
You'll be paying for that money in other ways though...
