You know what I do, I do one leg to the islands, turns, or sims at home. Right know I guarantee this is what you know. “If you had stayed at Alaska, you would be making more money, with a better quality of life.” That’s the truth, you’re still on here trying to prove to yourself that you made the right decision, wondering what you’re missing out on. In the future you may be very happy with your decision, sometimes the future doesn’t come though.
Sometimes things happen that were unforeseen, like your original classmates flying 787 to London, Paris, and Honolulu. While you layover in Cleveland. Laugh now, probably won’t be as funny 5 years from right now!
I’m not laughing at anyone. I’m not wishing any ill will on anyone at Alaska. I enjoyed my time there. That being said I also enjoy Delta. For me (keyword) I looked for much faster seniority movement, better schedule flexibility, fleet options, and widebody. Plus all the soft pay which I like. You can say one airline is good without saying the other is crap. I said there’s a difference in line constructions. AS is typically easier flying but more days flying. Conducive to living in base. DL is more legs/work but more hard days off especially as a junior pilot. In terms of the Eskimo flying 78’s I’ll believe it when I see them actually operating. That’s a complete 180 from what they’re doing now in terms of “growth” (a few new routes and increase frequency).
