And to the OP, same spot here 15 yrs to go but I'm already sitting in the left seat making money. Did a spreadsheet and UPS is about the only place I'd go to make up for the lost $. Never bet on " you'll upgrade in 2 years" NOBODY has any idea how this industry will shake out.
Of course I know that hourly rates are not everything and that a12 year NK CA makes a lot of money. My point was that if you’re after the money it’s not too long until you have at least a similar salary. Not talking about QOL here.
I have a friend who is a 10 year NK CA with 20 years left and he’s making the move too. Everyone’s situation is different. I can fully understand if you want to stay at NK. I liked it there too a lot. It’s not easy to start over but in my view still worth given all the options you have at a legacy.
