A lot of guys I work with are having this dilemma, and I suspect it is a common one; we are all Captains on heavy t/props (Dash 8 equivalent) making good $$; of course all with the dice in hand waiting for the call from AC (which may never come); a lot of guys are making the jump to Jazz, but the paltry salary in TO is a real challenge--now the phone has rung and I have my Jazz interview coming up...what are some of the thoughts on this type of move? I am going to take it if it is offered(long term gain argument), but it is going to be a 40% paycut and it is going to be UGLY for the first year ...my long term ambition is to go to CX or AC, so I think it is a step in the right direction vs. flying into fishing camps and reserves, which is my current gig.
Thoughts or opinions?
