your family will certainly enjoy the significant non rev benefits with 121 as well.
Anyone remember FedEx 4-8 years ago? Everyone under the sun was swearing by Fedex - upgrade on 757 almost immediately, Fly widebodies around the world and not deal with those pesky cabin drama queens, make fantastic money…. FedEx baby!!
Fast forward a few years….
Think this can’t happen at United? Delta? UPS?
One thing we can all count on - we are all one bad management team away from really, REALLY hard times. I don’t care what they tell you with regards to how many WB’s or pilots they wanna have by 2030 or whatever…. Heavy dose of skepticism is warranted.
My advice is simple… get hired, move to a domicile if at all possible unless living in one already and settle the fk down. Grass is always greener elsewhere.
Given our seniority system, jumping around chasing that WB or that upgrade inevitably bites people in the a$$. You may get lucky…. or you may get bitten.
