All because there egos won’t let them say…..yup, I should have just flowed. I’d be a 777 DFW RSV FO right now making $400K working 6 days a month, but instead I’ll soon be commuting to FLL, gone 20 days a month, to sit 18 days of Short Call Reserve for $275K.
Ah yes… that one wide body CA I heard of that makes a million dollars flex. Who cares. It’s not you and never going to be you. Dude probably had to suffer decades to get to that point. Maybe a couple of failed marriages. What about having great schedules and watching your kids grow up? How much is that worth. 10 years ago they probably would have told you’d be dumb to stay for the flow instead of going to Spirit, Hindsight is 20/20.
