What I don't understand is why isn't that a viable option for 7/8 year FO knowing that if another place has "guaranteed" an upgrade in less than 2 years? I don't know if upgrade in another 2 years here at XJT is even possible.
Nothing in life is guaranteed, especially not upgrade. Heck, you have to pass the checkride and Fed ride. Also, No comparison can be made with our generation. We went thru unprecedented stagnation due to age 65. Highly unlikely to happen again.
What a new pilot to the 121 world can do, is stack the odds in their favor for quick advancement. Going to one of the smaller, growing regionals will do that.
