No thanks.
The need to upgrade is effectively dead. FOs are being siphoned off by United, Hawaiian, Alaska...if you have the connections to move on and aren't a tool, you'll go where you want to with SIC time. Horizon, Compass, and SkyWest to an extent, are the shops I'd look at in the regional game. Everywhere else...no way.
