They allowed me to resign and told me to reapply after 4months. Whether that was genuine or not, unsure. TBH before going to the regionals I did not do a whole lot of research and stayed off these forums as recommended by some retired airline friends.
To the point of this post now, now that I’m researching and finding out there are opportunities in the 135 world would DPJ or any other 135 companies that hire 1500 FO’s even look at me? This company and some others would be a lot better for my family and wife’s career since I could be home based and not worry about crash pads/moving.
Thoughts welcomed, appreciate the advice.

Welcome to aviation. The days of wine and roses is over. It is never what you figure it to be. Everyone stumbles, and gets to eat humble pie at some point.
Pick yourself up, dust yourself off, and get back into the game. Keep putting in with different employers. There is a lot of people out there with tons of experience and squeaky clean records that have a stack of "TBNT", emails and letters. All you need is one company to say yes.

No one is sure how the WU merger will go. There will be some losses (flight benefits) and hopefully some gains...too soon to tell.
8/6 is doable. Great if you’re flying with a good guy all week...tough if you don’t care for the guy next to you. Guarantees 2 weekends off per month and 1 week vacation is automatically 3 weeks off.
I’d expect about 18 months to upgrade as it stands right now.

What is the nature of this company, and what are your intentions going forward? Why not just rebrand as Wheels Up or Gama or whatever?
