Hypothetical scenario which does relate to money earning potential but more importantly happiness. A vision for the future of United and upward movement.
If you had 10-20y of flying left prior to retirement, would you leave a job making 200-300 to start at the bottom with United?
Only you can answer that question since no one knows your QoL. Starting at the bottom at United at the moment is a pretty short "at the bottom" trip. But that could change tomorrow and you'd be stuck at the bottom for a decade. As a WB FO, you'd be in that payband within 3 years, but there's a QoL tradeoff there being on reserve.
