My friends wil all be CA at jblu while I'm still an FO at AA.
I made a mistake waiting for the flow.
I will not earn as much as my friends over the rest of my career.
Also you need to adjust your spread sheet for earnings invested or debt alleviated in the years your at the LCC vs years at the regional until you go to a legacy.
Depends how many years you have left. With their new rates you’d need more time to catch up and pass. It was about 10 years back when I made your same wait or go comparison. It’s more years now with their new CBA. What do you expect AA’s new upcoming CBA to do?
Invested earnings are the easier calculation. Your brokerage firm can tell you your average rate of return. From there it’s just plugging in numbers. Run that one next to your yearly pay calculation, not separately. When done, you can plug in different variables to see how minor changes effect the big picture.
