The short tours also severely restrict how much FDP pay you will be available to make.
Agreed. NJ provides a lot of opportunities to make money, but you have to go out on the road and make it happen. Base salaries are much lower than the Majors. The money is in the flying. There is plenty to go around, but you will work for it.
