Serious answers only.
I was part of the group in March sent home and I was one of the lucky ones that found a full-time gig flying (better pay and QOL), but, it’s in a SE piston. Therefore, I’m not really becoming any more competitive on paper for any future jet opportunities (other than total time).
I’d be curious to hear some opinions. Sacrificing my seniority number in this 121 climate seems stupid, considering it could be years before off the street people get hired again, but forfeiting the pay I’m receiving, which allows me to sock away cash, pay debt, live comfortably, also seems stupid; especially if another downturn happens when we’re back in training or post and they sock us again.
So, what I’m asking, is do I A) resign here and jump back into training hoping it all goes well or B) sacrifice the number, stay comfortable, build a plan and join 121 when times are more stable.
