Call BS all you want, the facts are accurate. Now I will concede that I am not familiar with how a pilot is paid at GGN. 72 x 85 = 6,120 x 12 = 73,440. Yup I did better than that...OK so you're an 8 year FO but I call a bit of BS I think more like 10 year. Still don't think that's a very compelling argument - go to Jazz - be an FO for 10 years and you can make more than a GGN Capt day 1. Really OK if you think that is making an argument against GGN
I can also see you are not very familiar with the Jazz CA. Either way...
You would not go to Jazz and spend 8 years on the right seat nowadays, Upgrades are at 1.5 years I think. I have since moved on to greener pastures so I am not up on the specifics there.
My point (which I think you missed) was how BACKWARDS the AC Express job on the RJ has become over the last 5 years. How much worse it is today versus when I did that job.
Should someone want to go to GGN to fly an RJ be my guest. Would not be my first choice if I had jet time. Sunwing, Transat, Westjet, several good corporate outfits out there too. but each to their own.
For the record: In today's world, I would probably look at either Encore or Jazz for a regional job. Encore if you are looking at career progression to he Majors. Jazz if you are looking at long term employment at the regional level. But that is just me
