Good. Maybe soon pilots can apply to a job without having to pay.

Either way, I'm confused why you would make such strong statements about NK, with regards to dropping trips, when you're in such a base; which you know has no future. So why say such a thing? People literally come to this forum to seek advice, and you offer up a coffin corner. How does that help anyone? What's the point?

You’re right, people come here seeking advice. My response was to someone who was seeking information specifically on ACY. I don’t care what the future of the base is or any, for that matter. Things can constantly change and no base is safe at NK. No strongly worded statements here; only the facts.

The real question you have to ask yourself, in my opinion, is how long will this massive boom of hiring last? Even most of the Regional pay rates are on a 2-3 term (especially when you're regional hinges on American). Hiring is great now. Money is great now. Most importantly, where are you willing to be stuck at?

There is a lot more to this career than an hourly pay rate.

Not at my age and with my paltry retirement savings. I want to make as much as I can in the next couple years and invest the majority of it. Compound interest bro.

I’ll make almost twice as much money at Envoy in the first 3 years than Spirit as of now.
