If one’s expectation or measure of decent ROI is less than the above mentioned I ‘d say I’d be Bullish.
Regional first year pay today has increased an average of 263% from what it was for me 9 years ago.
agreed set your expectations low and if you have to spend 5 years at a regional and pay due that’s generally the norm. The iron is super hot now and for a lot of people you can by pass that. But if you’re just starting now hoping in 2-3 year (or more if you take longer to reach atp mins) that the hiring of today will be the same the strong answer is no one knows but a good chance it won’t be as strong as it is now. Once legacy’s slow down lcc will also start to fill up and it’ll be back to norm and in a more steady state.
