Go to Endeavor or Republic. Get paid as much as DECs as a FO and make a lot more $ when you upgrade. Have a good QOL as well.

DEC is a dicey proposition for many folks. Learning a new jet and a new FOM can cause problems. PDT apparently has had a low DEC success rate. The folks who’ve had the best performance either know the jet, or flew at another AA WO.
