Currently a 10 year captain with a US carrier flying Embraer 170 aircraft. Have been looking at overseas opportunities for direct hire captains. The pay seems good, but my company will not grant me a leave or voluntary furlough (even though we have pilots on furlough).
At age 49, if I leave for overseas money, I need to be able to bank enough cash in three or four years of flying to make it well worth having left the seniority behind.
I was excited about the cash at NAS. The general feel from this site is that NAS is not stable and not making money. Star Aviation has an opportunity in Chennai (commutable roster) that pays about 2/3 what NAS does and WASINC has a similar opportunity in China (not commutable).
Is there any operator of Embraer 170/175/190/195 aircraft that pays enough and is stable enough to leave ten years seniority for?
Thanks in advance.
