Can you imagine any job in the world that would pay you $7,600 a month (mesa, and ENVD) to do nothing but sit at home for 20-25 days in the month being on call with a 12-18 hour callout? people would KILL for a job like that.
There was a month where I stayed at home for 28 days being on long call. got a fat salary, used the time to non rev, travel the world, spend time with family, and have fun. Couldn't have asked for a better job. I'm basically living like a retired man one year into my career LOL
Once they go to another airline and fly their ass off, they will hate it and regret the switch.
Ok, but how am I going to gain experience to move onto my career carrier? I’m sure there are very few young new regional pilots that aspire to not fly, take it easy, and become a regional lifer. You kinda gotta fly to move on.
