And your math may work for you (although narrow body CA at UA and DL are only about a year out right now which would dramatically change the math), but how many of your fellows have a $100k side gig and are an LCA? Enough to maintain enough CAs to keep OO viable when they are hiring 500 hour regional FOs at majors? It’s a queuing problem that seems to be getting worse, not better. Increasingly, it appears like the LCCs may be the new ATP entry level to 121.
