Now's probably not the best time to be switching companies, unless you have to. You need as many people under you as possible with all the volatilty. Also I'm sure a lot of us are here for something different, not just pay. Otheriwse why would you go to a startup, it's a gamble.
year 2 FO legacy min guarantee pay is within a few thousand of year 2/3/4 Breeze CA min guarantee pay. Plus they actually get a retirement plan, and if you figure that in, the breeze pilot not only makes about 20k less, but also yields several hundred thousand less in retirement. Your math doesn’t add up. No one at any LCC other than SWA has ever yielded anything close to legacy compensation. There’s no argument to be had about that!
If you believe we will get a contract within 3 years, you’re an absolute fool! Plus IF we even get a contract it will be an absolute garbage one. Look at Allegiant and that is our future. They took the better part of a decade to get a contract
