135 to Major
Sorry I know this question gets asked all the time but I’m struggling a bit. Currently a 135 Lead Captain on a heavy corporate jet that’s in the pool at Frontier. Just got a raise to a respectable but slightly above average and been loyal to this company for 6 years. Built it from the ground up to a well run flight dept. Love my job mostly and am semi close to the owners of the plane. Have a great coworker who we get along well. Love my house but the city isn’t really interesting to live in. Wife hates it and wants to relocate back to our hometown so I applied to be able to commute plus the upsides of more $$ in salary and retirement. Never wanted to be an airline guy but now I do see it as mostly a job and want to maximize my skillset financially. This is a great opportunity and am excited to have the chance to start a new journey. I’m nervous to take the massive paycut 1st year but I have saved considerably to prepare for it. How did your decision to move to a Major play out when you were in my situation?
