I suspect that will change in a year or so.
So basically if you’re a family man/lady/other and want to be home most* nights then you’re better off working for NJS and getting a quick or DE CMD and $200K a year rather then working for shorthaul and working your ring off and getting average $180K a year (sometime less, sometimes more).
I’d bet money on it that if NJS pilots don’t have the company support now they will once the new toy comes along so there won’t be much difference from that point of view.
The Shorthaul EA is confusing but can they say no to roster changes a week before? Looks like NJS pilots can so that’s a big benefit from a family point of view.
