actually the pace has become more humane , going forward from 2018, of course I’m not including the current pandemics toll on our pace which had actually became at once quite steady, and measured in my fleet ( the mighty XLS )before the world came to a halt in March.

NJ is a good job, no doubt. Very good benefits, decent retirement contribution. But after 2 1/2 years at Brown, I kick myself in the arse for not applying sooner. As a third year FO I will make more than a topped out small cabin Captain, working 3-4 days less a month and being home much more. First 18 months was rough, no sugar coating, but I fly maybe 5-6 nights a month now. The ability to manipulate my schedule still surprises me to this day. I haven’t worked weekends in a few months. I could go on.. 12% DC, pension, etc, etc. And as far as the job itself is concerned, this job is infinitely easier.
For those considering NJ, unfortunately this virus situation has ravaged our industry, and if already at NJ, hold on to that job for dear life. After having been at NJ for 15+ years, I firmly believe the holy grail of pilot jobs are UPS and Fedex!

I flew with one of the furloughed UPS guys briefly at USA Jet a DC9 operator during that period , he was slightly bitter to say the least , he got picked up by FedEx and subsequently FedEx’ed his resignation letter to Brown , not only burning that bridge , but nuking it , he was a funny dude 😂✊
