Also consider that if you cannot tolerate the regional QOL and quit, you have to satisfactorly explain that in your AA/DL/UA/SW interview, if even invited to that interview after you indicate on your resume that you've previously quit an airline pilot job.

Regardless, I have made the leap and am a few weeks away from completing training. So far, I am enjoying it and will try to make the best of life "on the line." Luckily, I landed a base where I live...which is huge! Ultimately, I feel it will make me a more rounded aviator and if nothing else, another check on the app in regards to 121 time. No one knows the magic formula...And the best part is I can head back to the Herk anytime I fell the need for speed

This got me interested so I added all my pay periods + my AT days and divided it out = an average of ~ 2,100/month.

Amount increases when on Title 10 or 32 orders.
Squawk, I hope you're going to DTW... I need the seniority! Are you CLE ERJ/MFD C-130?
