It boils down to what is important to you...to me its all about the money. If you look at their contract after 3 years days off increases to 12. Add your 2 vaca days and its similar to ana. Plus youve been made an instructor with a $3000 bump in pay. They have business class rt tix to your front door as well. That 17k youre going to have to pay taxes on. Skymark pays all your taxes. Im glad it works for you here. As for me I cant wait to get out. Not sure who you think your talking to as I havent even started the capt eval process.
