FO ERJ PHX sounds like a great job for, idk, decades? to come. Money aside that’s a great QOL play! I get it. Good luck.

Work means more than life, go ahead. Otherwise, enjoy life and be with friends and family.

SkyWest could close their PHX operation in 5 or 10 years from now completely and where will that leave you?

Get your PIC time and get out.

I know, with a pretty high degree of certainty, my app will not score high enough without a degree to ever see human eyeballs even with 1000+ hours of PIC. Not a complaint. It’s just how it is.
