You tell me to compare apples-apples, but yet you're making a comparison based on leaving as a CA and remaining a NB FO when other options are available. Very confused on your logic here.

Im not bagging on your pilot group; we all have niches that fit us individually and reasons for the place we hang our hat. Hell, I really enjoyed my regional for my own personal reasons, but it was well known to be a pretty crappy one. Somehow you're doing the mental gymnastics (but telling me to compare apples-apples) that it is financially more advantageous to stay at Breeze over a legacy. I don't have to check numbers, they're in plain sight right now, not if this happens or that happens in the future.

I'm not saying making the jump is easy or doesn't come with some risk. We've hired almost 1/3 of my airline the last few years - you'd be on the bottom of a huge seniority list - that's a fact. But that doesn't change the objective financials. Stay for location, stay for the plane, routes, or schedules, stay for seniority, stay because it's the safe thing to do for you. Heck, stay for that "it's a start up, it's something unique, we're changing the industry" BS. But financially ahead? You're deluding yourself.
