4. get your ATP on your own if the company won't pay for it. invest in yourself.
5. there is no rush to go to the majors since it is still a pilot's market.
Buying out your contract does not make sense and then downgrade to a piston that is 30 plus year old.
there absolutely is a rush to get to the majors. They are hiring 2000 pilots a year. That’s a major hit in seniority for the rest of your career.
