but you also have to start over on FO pay.. numbers may be less for someone in there late 30’s or older going to a major.. have to say i have more money in my 401k then most my friends at the majors. All the ups and downs of the industry a slow and steady Regional pace may be better for some..

First year FO pay isn’t “low” by any standards anymore. I mean if you can’t make $130k work and you’ve been making $160 / hr as a year 2-3 captain at mesa, it’s more of a personal budgeting problem . Gotta go to an airline that sells their own tickets .

He lived in base had a 20 minute commute. It worked for him. QOL is so important. I respect all of ya'll that value the QOL versus being stuck in LGA on a 319 just to get a legacy.
