I wish that were true. But it's not. A senior TMC captain leaving for a regional is going to take a significant pay cut for the first 2-3 (probably more) years. If only flow worked the way its advertised . . . Better to hold out for a major.

That could be the case at a few of the carriers, but it would be an almost unnoticeable amount. When you look at the long term though, earnings over the period would be significantly better. I'm simply trying to state that there are a bunch of choices these days. Pilots can choose to support their union and pilot group to achieve reasonable pay and work rules, or they can pull out and head somewhere that already has a CBA in place.

The problem at TMC is the pilots.
Too many willing to "chop wood" on days off instead of standing with others and only doing what is required. That would force management to negotiate.
Too many at TMC think and say, "It's the best job I've ever had!" They should be thinking, "It's the best job I've ever had???" These pilots don't deserve better, but that thought hurts the majority that do deserve better.
Management may be the enemy, but the pilots are the bottleneck to change. The union is not a mythical creature that comes in and waves a magic wand. It is pilots from the group giving up their time to fight for the rest of the group. But it means nothing if all the pilots aren't on the same mission, whether they pay dues or not. Just because someone comes to fix holes in a sinking ship does not make it ok for you to drill new ones.

Beechjet people, Jetlinx is looking for multiple PICs throughout the system - including home based floaters. Pay and QOL will be significantly better than TMC.
Any questions feel free to send a PM.

1) I'm just starting my jet career and for my own reasons I prefer not to go 121 (for now). I read through all the pros+cons at TMC and I gather it's an OK place to START as an FO but no reason for me to stay for the long run. Opinions?
2) What is the average monthly flying?
Thx.
