That's good stuff right there....

NJA is a dead end career choice. It’s a good waiting room however for those just needing a paycheck for a while.
She makes great coin , if that was an attempt to insult me , or disparage me you failed utterly and completely : )

How did I insult you exactly? I stated the facts. If you find those insulting, then you should address your issues.

I didnt see it as an insult, just a statement on perspective...

For you, $100k a year is fine as a 10 yr FO with no upgrade in sight... I cannot recall if you have kids or not, but that also makes a huge difference on perspective.

Many have a wife who make very little, and multiple kids to attend to. To those types, NJA could be a negative place with little to offer. You always say NJA works for you and your familia ( ok pretty much every post you make says this ) But the reason is may work for you and your familia is because of your situation.

Actually, C47s wife is the lowest paid FO at SWA. He has to work to make up for her slackness!

Just wait, when the mandatory retirement age gets implemented, upgrades will go from 15 years to 14, then you will all be sorry.

I totally agree , I left K4 and the 747's which I loved and returned post furlough to NETJETS because NJA worked better for mia familia, (then my wife and daughter, now with my baby boy added into the mix). We are a 2 pilot family, our particular symbiosis functions well with me on the 7&7, (76 day during maternity leave : ). ) and my girl flying as little as possible at SWA. We are happy, God's grace. This place isn't for everybody, but in the current environment it doesn't have to be, EVERYBODY is hiring.

Conversely, if you had stayed at K4, you would be a captain with several years in, making lots more money with the same amount of days off per month, and way easier QOL on the road.

Would you have stayed in hind sight?
