Currently polishing up the resume and logbook and not really waiting for the flow if something else better comes up.
Good call. Why would anyone wait to flow anywhere if “something better” came up, whatever that might be?

So what’s the scoop? Thank you kindly for the responses in advance.
“Unheard” of? Tons of 3+ year Group 2 FOs are making $20k a month, with a little bit of effort. There’s an insane amount of premium going around during the COVID recovery. Obviously that’s seniority, domicile, equipment, and willingness to work dependent. Tons more are content to make less and enjoy lots of time off. Group 4 FOs make $20k/month with even less effort. The contract also allows for one to strategically credit (not actually fly) high amounts for a couple months (summer being common) and then get two months (November and December, for example) off with full pay. Is that the type of appeal you’re looking for?
$60k/month? Every month, not just rare one-offs? That’s much more rare than you appear to believe. Are your “personal friends” Delta A350 captains from 2018? How senior do you think this supposed $60k/month crowd is?
if you want to live in South Florida, your best bets are AA, Spirit, JetBlue, UPS, and FedEx since it’s so commutable. Good luck.
