BuildnTime,
You say you're not interested in
VB/ J* lifestyle - just wondering what your perception of the
VB/ J* lifestyle is?
I don't have experience with J*, but I find the lifestyle much, much better at
VB compared to Qlink (EAA). By that I mean: you get paid a fair bit more (even on Ejet), you do a good mix of flying (regional and major ports), you can shape your roster to suit your preferences (I prefer 3-4 day trips which I generally get, but a lot of pairings are day trips if you prefer that), layovers are generally long enough to get a proper rest, you have career prospects on larger aircraft (if that interests you), but the real kicker is the extra days off. Min 11/12 days off in 28 plus blank days (rostered before early starts, etc) will regularly see you with 14-15 days "days off". Compare this to 8 off - roster in, roster out for effectively the same type of flying.
Sure, go for Qlink if that's what you want, but make an informed decision before writing off the alternatives.
