My goal in posting here is not to kick the NK pilots while they’re down. It’s to let the ones on the fence know that they may be working with some inaccurate information.
In this vein, I'll second the notion... for some of us who may have some lingering PTSD from the regionals, etc the QOL at any legacy is generally pretty good, even when junior. May take a while to catch up to single digit in base QOL, but it should get pretty close eventually. Plus money... that buys QOL, either now or later your choice (bid down now for time off, or work hard and FIRE).
