Its almost as if my prophetic warnings are coming true, careful though you wouldn't want to "tell" anyone what to do.

I will once again say it, dont come here as a DEC unless you want any of the following.

1. Bottom of a Captain Seniority list for several years as all of our current FO's upgrade and continually keep you down.

2. Years of reserve, often the worst kind at airport standby.

3. Most likely not your aircraft of choice.

4. Excessive time away from home as a commuter.

If you like or want any of that, go for it, but then we need to factor in the new info.

1. Pretty much industry leading low pay.

2. Company that is hostile to its pilot group.

3. New hire flow times are well above 7 years.

4. Moving target over what the company will terminate you for.

So I am not "telling" any pilot what to do, but I would look long and hard and the reality of things before getting blinded by that large check. This company gives nothing away out of the goodness of its pilot group so imagine how bad it must be to offer such a large check.
