Congrats on the new job. How long did you fly the ERJ? Was it much of a pay cut going from regional captain to major FO?

I had about 4,500hrs in the ERJ and was never able to hold CA at a regional. I met the right people to get hire at Spirit. The 1st year pay is about the same I was making, luckily second year gets me more than what I would have made as a CA at my regional
