I’m still leaning towards waiting on upgrade, but I wonder if the extra stress of commuting is worth the $
no, the stress and extra time away is not worth the extra money. In fact, if you stay local and pick up a premium here and there, you probably won’t be far off Captain commuter pay (which is likely to be min guarantee).
take it from me, who upgraded early and hasn’t moved an inch on the seniority ladder (on the CA side). Enjoy the FO seniority movement and being local.
