Not trying to say there aren’t lots of good reasons to go somewhere else or career earnings are the driving factor. But I think the career earnings variable favors the airlines with short WB upgrade times and a huge percentage of WB aircraft vs their total.
Sure, maybe I’m wrong. I’m happy at purple but if I look at my friends hired 5 years ago at Delta, they are either NB captains or WB FO’s. They have a higher pay rate than me and their 401k deposit with cash over cap is likely worth the same as my pension +B fund.
