Technically the bonus was paid to you while u were on property, against the cba.. again this will be in meditation...

It may seem okay for now but when you’re on the line being extended/displaced/junior manned, and trying to commute on your measaly 11 days off - eventually it adds up.
People aren’t leaving because lateral moves are for chumps. However, I don’t think a lot of us realized how tough these schedules would be. We made our bed but that doesn’t mean we can’t help others avoid making the same mistakes.
If I could do it over again I would have chosen endeavor. Not for the pay, but the schedules. Work / life balance is so much more important than I ever realized before starting at Piedmont. All I cared about was upgrade time. Looking back, it was irrelevant.
Just remember that 45k is a gold ball and chain keeping you here for 2 years. I hope you have a real reason to be positive after your 2 years here man. That would be refreshing to say the least.
