- Long term, money is always going to be better here.
- Retirement is WORLDS better here.
- If I wanted to fly at my old regional, I had to pick up out of base and usually we’re 2-3 days trips that aren’t commutable on one end (if there were any trips at all).
- Career progression is better.
- More relevant type.
I would rather deal with reserve here from the comfort of my home than a CrashPad so QOL is still a good reason to come here.
For the people who think the regionals have out better, y’all could go there as DEC and “make a ton of money.” Let me know how that works out for you
If you get turned down by UA, WN, DL, AA, FDX, UPS, and JBLU then yes choose NK over your regional. It just makes more sense now than it ever has to wait it out a little longer at your regional to try to get on with one of those carriers, before coming to NK. They all have better pay and better seniority progression and are hiring like crazy.
