I have a friend that’s a 767 captain at a legacy and I will out earn him this year and I’m in my 20s and he’s in his 60s. This place is a lot more lucrative than the pay scale leads you to believe. We have a lot of soft pay and I work way less than him and don’t commute.

This is really difficult for me to believe. I can get my head wrapped around you making more than him, but also working "way" less than him? How? The only way you're beating a Legacy CA in his 60's, which means he's topped out, and don't forget his DC, is if you're flying 95 hours a month and 25% to half of that is out of the premium folder.

He's been rubbing it in our noses since he left, and will continue to do so I'm sure, but regretful? Seriously doubt it. And I love it here, so I'm not even saying he has it better, I'm just saying I think he's glad he left.

I’m sorry you’re right when I meant he works harder I meant he commutes and gets less days off than me. I’m sure his work is easier because he’s not doing domestic flying. Anyway there’s pros and cons to both companies but advice to someone younger that wonders why we haven’t left it’s because we have it pretty good now.
