He works for Alaska. I'm holding weekends off if I want them after one year. They're not important to me yet I had every Friday off and two full weekends this month.
To each his own. If you like the crew meals at NJ then it will be a loss. If you are like me and ate them out of necessity, not so much.

NJA is a good job. I was hired in Oct of '06 and left in Dec '14. I was an FO in the Encore the entire time. I was tired of flying the Encore and burnt out. I understand upgrades are still painfully far away. There are times I wonder why I left. I miss all the time off I was getting at NJA. I don't remember what weekends off are like. NJA takes care of its pilots. Amazing health insurance, home basing, good 401k, good aircraft,hotel/airline points, credit card points, uniform allowance, and pretty good pay. Not to mention the crew meals. The crew meals at NJA were amazing compared to what I'm eating in the cockpit now. I understand the pains of a NJA FO. I was one for a long time. My job in the 73 is way easier than what I was doing at NJA and I'm happy I made the move. I just wanted to chime in and provide my view of leaving. NJA is a great job and there are aspects that I miss dearly. No job is perfect unless you're Dave Rastovich.

I just took the family to Baja MX for 7 days.
Free except the taxes I had to pay to fly free on SWA to get there.
I didn't even dent my point bank.
I'd say that's worth more than $2000 a year.
Summer vacation coming up.
Free and free.
Fall vacation planned.
Free.

That's what my buddies were saying. Goes in line with the plan to shrink. Shrinking in fleet size and that means no hiring. Attrition will hopefully take care of the the excess of pilots so they don't have to furlough.
