to NJ unless you get some kind of thrill being paid 1/3 of your worth with zero schedule or QOL control, all the while using our iron clad fatigue policy like chewing gum.”
At the same time, it’s disingenuous to complain of constantly being fatigued here. Just send a fatigue GM and let SO figure out the details. Don’t fly tired and certainly don’t go home tired.
If you’re chasing FDPP at the expense of your own fatigue, that’s a personal problem.

I am advising all the new guys to keep their eyes open and consider trying a legacy instead of staying at the LCC. Do you really think I should lead by example before I can tell the new guys to keep their eyes open?
I am at 16%, with 9 years to go. Senior line holding captain. If I go to a legacy, and if I upgrade, I will be on reserve till I retire, for less pay, and less vacation.
If they stay, they will probably have to wait 10 years to just hold a line, because growth has slowed a lot. If they go they will probably hold a line as a NB captain sooner, for way better pay (remember I am on year 11 pay, they aren't), more vacation, better benefits and the option of wide body if they want after 20 years.
If he took his own advise, I would probably consider him a fool, and not listen to him. And since you advice him to do so, maybe you are one.

Are there worse places to go? Sure! But saying, “NJ sucks less then where I’m working now.” seems like a weak argument, especially considering the options pilots have at this time.
So many better options to make more money while flying more and gaining experience. Many of our recent new-hires feel duped, the ole bait and switch, now that they are on property and actually dealing with day-to-day operations and the paychecks that come with it.
If you have done your homework and still want to come here, we’d love to have you. But know what you’re getting into please. Right now we are a mess.

It's a good job and it will get better. We need improvements, we need compensation increase, some schedules improvement, but it's a good job. Those cry-babies who keep saying it's the worst job in the world are still here....

It amazes me how little some of our pilots value their own time.

What do you even know how do they value their own time, It's their lives, not yours. Mind your own business, who are you to even judge others. Apparently you're still a NJA pilot, you must be some kind of a loser then, not?
