Default Boots and Benny

Swiper,

If you are getting 300 hrs of PIC MEJet and home most of the month...stay. Granted 35K isn't fantastic, and is about third year salary at the better regionals, but you are home and presumably able to watch Dora, Boots and Deigo help Penguino get back home with the loved ones. I'm balancing commuting to my reserve FO regional job and my reserve military job all so I can get 121 experience so that I can fly boxes around in a few years to be home more...to watch Benny and Isa with my kids...

I know that they say one man's trash is another's treasure, but I say stay and maybe ask for a little raise. If you have connections at CAL, maybe that will offset the lack of 121/135 experience. You're gonna get good time in 3-5 years - the same amount that it would take you to upgrade and get PIC at a regional.

Best of luck, enjoy the home life.
