However I'd probably do the same thing if I had to do it over. At the time I left Eagle I had never sniffed a line. (3 years on RSV) 3 different bases and 2 planes. When I left I tripled my pay and would just now be equaling what I make now if I stayed at Eagle.

I believe the "shortage" is starting to effect the low and mid level corporate jobs like this one. It's the only reason I think they even interviewed me with the hours I have. (1050) Either way I go though, I'm in a good position I think.

Also you'd be about 24 months from AA if you had stayed and a captain close to holding a line in DFW right now.

The good thing is im fairly confident I'll be at a major in 24 months anyway. Just have to decide if I want to stay put and wait till they eventually start taking lower time guys or go to a place hiring DEC's or go somewhere as an FO again.

Which I actually did get a good amount of.

I'd stay put. You keep bouncing around and will never progress. Go for the E175 if you can.
