Easier debt payments with higher-paying regional vs. the chance of living in a city I enjoy. ERJ/senior guys, penny for your thoughts? Any positives or concerns to note that I might have overlooked in previous comments that could help me narrow down my decision?
With limited access to SkyWest Online (cadet), is there a smart way to scout upgrade times or how much a base is flying to shop intelligently?
Define “high pay”? $1-5 more a hour will not be worth a commute you will burn that extra hourly wage in food and crash pads... i always tell people a commute to better pay $1000 more a month take home to make it worth the lost days commuting..
The one constant is everyone flys a ton at OO. Upgrades are constantly sub 2 years, and right now under 1 year..
