Thanks .
So not going to a reputable airline means that one is basically leaving 30-40k on the table - per year! (Including the higher out of pocket medical costs)
I love my airline miles and Bonvoy points, but one starts to wonder…

A select few operators I'm aware of have stepped up in the last few years and delivered double-digit percentage 401k contributions, but that's definitely the exception instead of the norm.
I can see your point with this.
Handing out ratings in a Part 91 revolving talent door ops must certainly be more expensive than a proper 401k contribution.
One can only hope that the trend continues and more operators are willing to step up their game.
