I would be able to also live in base with Spirit but would take the pay cut considering I will upgrade to Captain in around a year if I stayed including captain pay at 750 hours. My plan is to leave either of them at the first sign of a legacy. Is it worth staying for that Turbine PIC or the A320 type rating but also a risk of failing a check ride when life’s good right now. Also I do enjoy my regionals flight benefits and easy schedule but it is always a risk that “the music stops playing and it collapses and I’m stuck at a regional vs a major.
