Another silver lining is that when the tier system gets implemented in April I won’t be incentivized to pick up extra flying anymore so I’ll enjoy more days home.

No regional comes close to endeavor after the second year. The second year 9e 401k match at 12% ends the comparison.

It's no wonder my friend who is a bypassing First Officer (because they don't need to force upgrades) at Skywest is making easily more than me as a reserve Captain at PSA.
Not to stir the pot at all but between new hire bonuses and premium pay I hit 90,000+ this year at ZW as an FO. 100,000+ if you include per diem. Granted, I was averaging 7 days off a month and 125 hours of credit so QOL was non existent, but the money is there if that’s what you’re after.

Negative Ghostrider, you have missed the point. The point is to know what you actually get here at PSA vs our competitors.

Minus NYC that's true pretty much anywhere and for various reasons for some people NYC might be a better option than a podunk outstation with a line or reserve that starts at 0430.

No, but the money is. I come to work to make money. Liking my job is just a side benefit. A benefit that Management has manipulated in their favor for far too long. If people would put their desire to be properly compensated above their desire "to fly" it would be a totally different landscape out there. Wish in one hand, **** in the other I reckon... Happy New Year.

unless my info is bad (its a strong possibility) 9E year 2 match is 3%. it takes 20 years to get to 12.5% (8% year 11-19)
