Any insight would be appreciated!
Well as I understand it, you made your decision…….unless it was just a deferral.
Some people here will say you made the right decision, some people will say you made the wrong decision. You won’t know until your career is over.
In the not too distant past, regional pay was so low…..for the financial aspect of it alone your decision would have been very questionable. But regional pay being what it is today………staying while maybe not what I’d do…certainly is justifiable.
Success in life not to mention an airline career really comes down to the decisions you make under the most pressure where there isn’t a clear right or wrong answer…….But hey that’s why we get paid the Big Bucks…to make tough calls.
