not an idiot, but you will kick yourself hard when you see guys who didn't sign moving on after 1-2 years if things stay the same and you are stuck losing seniority at a legacy or national because you shackled yourself to a contract feeder and have to stick with them for years.

truth be told what you’re saying is true, and I’m not even being funny or nothing I’ll be cool wit the contract and doing the bid, I’m in no rush to move along elsewhere so fast, yes the money is good at legacies but it’s still decent money at the regional for my liking, wit the situation I’m in I flight instructor part time and work a bs 9-5 that I hate so much I can’t continue to live like this lol I’m shackled now, the shackles of a dream job can’t be bad vs where I’m at now

OK, confirmed - the agreement kicks in right after the first few days of Indoc...
This is an email diirect from the recruiter:
[QUOTE]Indoc is referring to the first portion of your Initial Qualification Training provided by SkyWest. It is generally the first five days of training.[QUOTE]

Looking for advice. Got a CJO from SkyWest and plan on moving to base; however, I just got an unexpected CJO from a 135 company and it would be home-based as well. The 135 job seems to be pretty nice: small operation, great people, possibility of fast upgrade to captain and fly heavy planes after a few years. With such a contract at SkyWest now, I almost feel like I should skip the regional path. 5 years, 80K non pro-rated, is it worth it?
