The point I was making is: don't get yourself in the golden handcuffs. Expect and plan for a pay cut on the first year.

Finally, to state I'm at SKW was just implying it's not a bad place to be as a CA, financially. Look, I was just interested in getting some answers to questions MANY people have who just read your posts (which I have, yes all 200+ pgs) and fear posting because of your replies lol…Perhaps because I was curious of "updated" information not info from 2011. Anyway, sure do appreciate the respectful replies, genuinely interested guy here, thank yous.

I think if someone is close to upgrading at SKW they should do it and not go to Frontier as an FO-FO move. Get the PIC time and experience and apply at the Big 3. Unless of course one wants to give a career at F9 a shot. Then by all means go for it. Used to be that F9 wouldnt look at you if you didnt have some turbine PIC. Obviously times have changed.

If you were at OBAP in Vegas, and we told you to expect a phone call, you're right where you need to be. You should be getting a call soon. (I think the May interview dates are full now, so it'll likely be June or later before you interview.)
