Yes, exactly that. The likelihood he
1) hates ups AND
2) can’t get an AA job within a year
is low
OTS civil will be the bulk of AA hires this year
and there’s always the “hi, I’m leaving but will take your next open class date” option

I still say he leaves because he will always wonder. If he leaves he can tell the Admiral "I got that TShirt already, KaBoom"

on the plus side those trips are all or almost all paid on rig so you are getting paid to commercial to work and layover. Also you can cut 24hrs or more off the end of your trip by commercialling home right after your trip instead of laying over.

What’s bad advise is telling a guy to decline a firm class date at Company A or B on the promise of a different class date 9 months into the future at Company C based on an incorrect understanding of contractual language.

You do not say no to a major job offer at a regional.
The 100k bonus is irrelevant. Take off taxes and such, and you will make more than the difference as year 1 pay + 401K DC over your career.

Getting paid to commercial deadhead vs stay at a regional for 10 months during an enduring unstable period in the commercial passenger world… hmmm, what to do.

Waiting for AA would be insane.
