Default Nk or B6 CJO?

If you had the option of starting with NK or B6 in the same week, which would you suggest taking? I would be a commuter with both. Thanks!

B6. Look at the first year pay and insurance.

Eventually they’ll most likely merge, but why take the pay cut in the meantime?

If you are on the younger side… keep in mind that B6 (and NK) does class seniority by age, so if you’re young, you may get stuck with the E190 for two years. That kept me from looking there.

Excellent point. I am older, so I assume I would get the 320 at B6.

Only a 1 year seat lock if you’re a newhire. You’ll only fly it 7-8 months due to training delays and then can go straight to bus to get the 2nd year at the higher pay rate.

Do you want to get stuck at if the merger is blocked? It may not happen that way but plan for the worst case scenario.

No brainer B6, always possible the merger won’t go through. Plus, higher pay and better benefits.

In a similar situation, except I'll be commuting from PHX (might move to Denver in the next 1-2 years). Also looking for advice. TIA
