Remember the fsdo is concerned about our growth and lack of infrastructure that Piedmont has failed to install.

That said, the pay should be much better

Yup.. as a third year captain you will make less money than an fo right now.. senior fo has good schedules and 10k fo retention. Unless you plan on killing yourself with open time.. i would just say stay an fo.. plus your flow locked with upgrade from finish of soe for a year.

Don't get me wrong, it is absolutely pathetic that DECs are making more than CAs who have been here years. I am living through that and I am shocked people aren't making a bigger stink out of it.

I will be taking a pay cut when I upgrade. Insult to injury is the base first officer guarantee for up to 6 months in training.
Somethings got to give.
Not that’d I’d leave, but ENYs offer for DEC isn’t a bad proposition for its face value compared to just upgrading here.
