The company has a multitude of different contracts and pay scales
Which were mostly posted on the crew room wall!
If you are on that good a contract, I'd say you've made the right choice. You would definitely miss that 5/4.
Some of my friends on the old old contract, or the floaters did very nicely, but I was assuming you we're on the new old, or even the new new deal. Also, if you weren't a cadet you're probably a captain by now, so not facing a base change. All these things turn it into a judgement call. I'm a lot better off: only a little below the industry average. So I can't complain. Still do, though!
