I highly recommend doing everything possible to just mark time until you get your UPS class date. Instruct at your local flight school, work at Home Depot, whatever. Just don’t jeopardize your job offer...

We have one of the most unified pilot group around with one of the best CBAs around... is there more to be desired? Isn’t there everywhere?
How’s vacation elsewhere? OCV anyone??
Defined retirement + B fund? Pay rates? Guarantee?
As far as schedules are concerned? There’s something for everyone..
Do some suck? Absolutely...but, after a short time you’ll have your choice of daytime/nighttime/turns/2day/3day? Week on week off/10-14 day trips... whatever works for you.. Knoxville? Some guys love it - Hong Kong your jam? You got it..
13 bid periods and I average 10-12working days per? And you’re bragging about 16.5 straight? That sounds HORRENDOUS.
We have plenty of commercial rides to and from work if you can hold them and a booked jumpseat on company... I see you constantly bash commuting - I did it at a regional for 11 years - this is NOTHING compared to that... ZERO stress.
