Congratulations on being called by AA. Everyone’s decision of happiness varies so the decision is only yours to make. Ive met pilots leave legacies to go to cargo and I also know a few at AA who left FedEx and UPS to fly pax. Money is not everything in life you wont be missing any meals at any of the major airlines. I would recommend you go jumpseat on AA a few times and ask questions see how happy the crews are. Good luck with your decision you’ve wont either way

So maybe I get one or two good opinions/angles before we start with the measuring contest.
40 years old, single, no kids, live in Colorado but willing to move for the right reason. I fly 74 at the “good” ACMI and I really like the job and lifestyle, I do, but can’t deny other CBAs out there offer more.
Being extremely low time like I am (2,100h), I somehow got beyond lucky and got a AA interview in a couple of weeks, no degree no events attended.
Dilemma is huge. I know this type of movement won’t happen again, and even tho I prefer cargo, opportunity is unique. Decision is mine obviously but…..should I go to a job I’d technically enjoy less (passenger ops/if I got a CJO) but with a better contract, or stay out doing a job I enjoy more but make a lot less long term.

Give me 2 comments before you start fighting please
