I agree, that was a huge factor in why I left. I knew all the good NK things likely wouldn’t be there after the JCBA. Or, if they are they are neutered down a bit. The pay scales between us and NK are pretty much identical right now. At NK though you’re on that training pay for a few months then on your full pay. Here you’re on first year pay for 15-18 months. I’m not going to do the math, but I would bet that in your first 24 months you make more at NK than AA right now. Also, you can do very well on the X and Y list even as a first year there, you aren’t getting much PR or PM here as a newbie. Again, I agree that long term AA>NK, that’s why I made the move. But if you live in say LAS and really just want to fly for a legacy, I really don’t think it would be a good move.
