Travel benefits on all three mainline carriers. And the 170/175 is extremely junior here.......because who the ******* wants to fly a CRJ?
Apples to apples, YX surpasses anything the AA WO’s offer. OO can’t even match let alone exceed what Republic offers.
But you took the carrot and fell for the flow. Hopefully you have some years behind you, because that carrot is a death trap for a new hire.
YX is great, if you live in base. I don't, so YX can't offer me the QOL Envoy can. How hard is that point to grasp? You _CAN_ have a great QOL at a WO. The post I originally responded to said you _CAN NOT_.
How hard can it be? If YX/OO/GoJet/whatever works for you, great!
Don't get me wrong - I like YX, it's a great airline and just like I've said before, everyone I know there is happy.
Hey, I haven't spent a penny on uniforms either.
And hey, when you start waving your "contract comparison", your contract has provisions for airport standby. You just haven't used it yet. Which is great. But don't say "contract comparison" if you don't know your contract.
I didn't "fall" for anything. I'm 6 months further in my career than where I would be if I accepted the class date offered at YX. I live in base. I fly a great airplane. I have great QOL. I couldn't be happier, even if there was no flow.
YX would be a great choice too, but I'm not going to move for a regional, and that's why AA WO works better for me.
