There’s the caveat- early 40’s vs early 50’s. Not saying it’s an easier decision for you at all. You just have more years to make up the difference.
Yeah man, i just can't see myself late 40's early 50's still fighting for that bite of the apple. All the best man. |

Another consideration. Year 1 legacy giving up 4 or 5 vacations. Year 2 give up 2 or 3. Year three another 2 or 3 ect…. Never making those days off up for a career. Not to mention none of the legacies were able to get to 5 credit per day. It’s substantially less days off till 65. Not my choice just reality.
Legacies are 5:15 average credit per day right now. |

I’m not really understanding what’s you’re saying about the vacation thing. You start with 3 weeks of vacation at AA. 2 weeks at DL and UA.
Legacies are 5:15 average credit per day right now. Personally, I have 4 weeks (28 days) at 5 credit per day this year and assuming nothing changes till 65 that will be true till then. Just looking at UAL for example. I would give up 16 weeks of vacation till I turn 65. That and according to a recent Alpa contract comparison UAL tops at 4.25 credit per vac day. |

It stinks but lots of pilots have had to start over mid career. It's been a good decade so we've forgotten about the bad old days.

You start accruing 3 year one for the following year. Are you saying day one of ground school you have 3 available? Also, I’m not sure how you’re getting an average with PBS? Looks like your new agreement started at 3.67 and tops at 4.58 credit per day.
