United is the better company, no discussion. But NK was a great company for the pilots with seniority (last contract wiped out QOL for reserve pilots). Trading single digit captain in base for triple digit bottom FO is a big step, especially at my age. What hurts: the pay cut, but mostly the fact that I know I should have tried to get out as soon as the merger talks started. Told everyone to leave, and everyone listened except me.
January line was 21 legs, 18 crew meals, #jeffreydahmer. And starting February, I wont have to commute for the first time in over 2 decades.
