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 make your decision based on TDY. Your base may never TDY and if they do it’s often voluntary. You’re most vulnerable to an involuntary TDY your first few months on line.
The vast majority of pilots have never seen an involuntary TDY.
