I feel your pain. I'm a little over 4 years now with no great things in sight at 9E. I say if you can't beat 'em, join 'em. GoJets. You can either stick it out and wait for an eventual furlough or see yourself at 6, 7, and 8th year FO pay, or you can make the jump now and be a Captain there in 12 months or less. Those 12 Delta Connection jets start to come in January. And no one cares where you get the TPIC time, as is evident by GoJets pilots getting hired at Jetblue, Fedex, among others.
