Pay= yes some of its deferred. But I’ll take $40 per hour plus $2500 per quarter over the pay at many of the regionals. Look at SkyWest (Crap training , no signing bonus, no union )
Training - In my opinion , it’s fantastic. You will have some delays no doubt but that’s everywhere. Most the instructors are outstanding and they will work with you if you need extra sims without making you feel like a loser.
Bases - Chicago or Houston we’re both fine for me. I got Chicago.
People - you are going to fly with some pretty amazing captains ! At least I think so.
Hotels - better than most
Medical benefits - better than most
The union - they are working for us but take everything with a grain of salt.
Your issue resigning from a Flight Instructor position will have no factor on any airline hiring you. That’s just head trash. Tell them the story if they ask and move on.
