”Is starting over at $27,000/yr, with no benefits for 6 months, at the bottom of a legacy carrier rumored to be merging with another, really putting your family first?”
Very good point!
Gina - when (not if) CAL merges with another airline, how will that affect your seniority - which obviously you and your family will rely on for pay and quality of life purposes? You don't know? Exactly!
Also, you said you have 20 years left? Well, if NJA stands for Netjets, it’s a 135 outfit correct? Therefore there’s no 60 rule, so why do you say you have 20 years left? I’m sure I’m misunderstanding your calculation. So maybe you should look into the possibility of working until 65 at CAL (will probably happen within the next 20 years wouldn’t you say) and at least 65 at Netjets and then look at the numbers? Good luck with you decision but I vote for your current job mainly because you have a family and since I believe that CAL will be merging with another airline in the near future all the bets re: CAL are off. Either way good luck or better yet, go FedEx or UPS!![Wink ;) ;)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
