Honest question. The cellphone bill? Are you saying you don’t currently have a cellphone in the year 2022 and you only would need one if you went 121 (but not currently in part 91) hence why it becomes an expense?
I get that you need one for 121 - especially reserve but implying it’s a cost to going 121 means you don’t have one/need one today? Serious question. What am I missing?

It’s pretty standard for a cell phone either be provided, or bill reimbursed, in the 91/135 world.

I hope you guys can up the pay, I’m the perfect example of someone on the fence about jumping to 121. I did the meet and greet in Orlando a few months ago. I had a great experience with everyone I met. Had a really nice small interview there. We talked about South America flying, the 321 XLR and possibly adding Santiago and Buenos Aires as destinations. I got the video interview and that went well. In the mean time a 91 gig fell into my lap. Didn’t have to move, average about 6 days a month of flying, starting pay in the 150’s. I’m 54 and doing the math, the first year pay, training pay made it a deal breaker. Add in the cost of crash pads, cellphone bill, commuting and it just ends up being more work for around the same pay for my last decade. I’d really like to join you guys, hopefully the pay comes up!
Enjoy your 91 gig.

I was just joking about the A321XLR and going to SCL and EZE.

The stat often quoted is 40% of all dollars in US history were printed in the 2020 & 2021. They don’t mean actually paper currency. It’s money created out of thin air by the fed due to spending by Congress. That’s why you’re seeing 7% inflation numbers being reported today (and many speculate ‘real’ inflation exceeds 7%)

Just the fact that I have a real schedule and they can't call me on my day off and force me to work makes it worth the short term hit.
With that said, everyone agrees that pay needs to go up. By the time it does, you'll be way closer to retirement, though.
