If it weren't for the threat of TDY I probably wouldn't even be looking elsewhere. But I don't want to sign up to be home every night in another town. Pay does need to come up some, but it doesn't have to match Delta.
Don’t discount the reality of it all. The day trips are not contractual and they could go away. There is absolutely no reason our pay should be a penny less than any other A320 pilot. We are all A320 pilots taking off and landing at a lot of the time more challenging airports than most with less resources. Whether you’re employed by Delta, United, Alaska or any other airline that operates an A320 at the end of the day you are an A320 pilot with almost 200 souls on board. Take the name and paint off the plane. It’s extremely simple.
