Get your apps out.
As you gain longevity and seniority here it begins to rapidly slow, then stop. You will always be underpaid here. You will never get profit sharing which has been $50,000 a year at some carriers (not here). You will be paying for every crew meal. Sometimes you will be flying hungry. You will top out as narrobody capt, vs that being a mid career position elsewhere.
Do not get comfy here. There is a reason everyone at the bottom of the list is leaving.
