If you currently have a decent job, are you going to be happy sitting as a FO for at least 7 years, and only getting one or two landings per month? Management relationship is ok. Pilot group is as happy as any groups merging can be, with guys going on 11 years as FO and still looking at a couple more to upgrade. But the real problem for anyone joining now is the demographic of the pilot group. There is really no attrition until guys born in 1955 or afterward start to retire, so even with a decent amount of projected growth, there will not be a heck of a lot of career advancement. New contract seems to have some minor improvements, but not what I was hoping for.
