If you can't provide for 1.5 months..........then 90 ish an hour for one year.........do you live in like Palo Alto?
Leaving a Regional flying a E170 with unlimited 300% to fly an E195 (which is what most recent classes are getting) at JB to take a pay cut is a lateral move.(Especially if you consider moving to your assigned JB base & seat locks & JB upgrade times). More Florida bases would help offset that. Then you have the pending merger of seniority list nightmare that never works in anyone’s favor.
