I know money isn't everything, but is it worth it to be super broke for a year of two building time in the bus waiting on a call from a legacy? Some close counsel of mine feel the state job hurts me for potential legacy 121 operators...
Any theoretical insight would be great!
Cheers!

Apps are in at Spirit and JB, Frontier just happened to ping first. I never said I'm in love with the bus, nor would I come specifically for that. But in light of going to a regional, I guess I was trying to gauge if the QOL/flying is better...

If your goal is a couple years here, why not make double the money over two years at a regional? Yes. It will be double. A typical first year makes 25-30k after hotels and loss of per diem.
Not to mention our insurance, disability, and retirement are behind regionals for the first few years and you wouldn’t even be vested here. Hope you don’t have a family. Cause there is a surcharge for that.
The legacies look at F9 as a regional anyway. Go where the money and QOL is.
Not where you are scared to call in sick, your vacation gets cancelled, scared of retaliation, scared of being fired if your parent or spouse passes away.
I don’t think you’ll get sympathy from anyone at F9 if you come hear looking for a “couple years of time building”.
Besides. The recruiters read here and letting them know you won’t be staying and leaving identifying comments are probably not a good idea.
PS. You have guys that are at F9 eyeing the flows and bonuses at regionals. That should answer all you need to know.
