Would you guys leave in my situation and take a pay cut for some time and apply at the legacy airlines or stay put and slowly built hours. We fly about 400 hours/year
I am a First officer
2000 hours TT
500 jet time
Live and fly out of OKC
Have small kids
I have considered Skywest or Envoy. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
FWIW, you would hold DEN out of training at TSA. With bonuses and quick upgrade you would be close to current pay after a year. The bonus situation seems to always be changing quickly though, so make sure you have it in writing. Commuter hotels make the commute easier to stomach, and currently we fly to OKC from DEN on our own planes which also can make it easier...
