My unaltered an unashamed pay scale at QX places me at 56K had I stayed.
I am not blaming QX for anything. They did lie to me and treated all of us like 5 year olds. I endured the longest and most miserable 9 leg days of my life there. The worst decision I could make would be to have stayed. If the kind of life and working conditions QX offers is satisfactory for you then have at it.
QX fell far short of what I considered to be worth throwing a career away upon. In fact 100K is not even close to being enough to endure what they dish out at QX.

Well, I was basing that on STRAIGHT PAY not any of that other bs at the seniority you mentioned previously. Check the payscale, and check your math. Also, we don't have any 9 leg days nowadays, which is what we are talking about. Don't get me wrong, I think you made the right choice too, Baby!
