How big will the pay hit be? How long to catch up?
Would live in base in either SEA or SFO.
Probably get paid $100K year one. Break-even year two, then off to the races. That assumes you stay an FO, as opposed to grabbing an unfilled CA slot year two.
But the real benefit is long-term QOL, schedule flexibility and WB opportunity.
Of course they might announce the merger the day after you start class, that would be annoying... end up junior to yourself.
