Edit: Just talked to a friend, and I guess you could have done a lot of those out and back overnights of 2-3 hours and got paid 16. Good on ya.

Oh yeah? Well my turd smells better than your turd!
Come on gang... 9E/9L/XJ is not looking like it's the best bet at the moment.
To the OP, living in base or having an easy one leg commute to domicile makes a world of difference. The contracts with their rates and soft pay are in the same ball park for now (they're regionals, they all suck...especially for FOs). Good to see you're making an effort to make an informed/educated decision, my $.02...stay away from PinnaColAba for a while.
