You drew a short straw. Sorry. You are in a part of this industry that has a huge deck of cards stacked against it. (You) want to be here, and everybody involved with the industry knows it. In a way, not much different from the FOs at mainline that have been in the right seat for 15 years. It is all about timing, and there is nothing you can really do to affect it in any meaningful way. Bob Dylan said it though... The times they are a'changin'. ANother great quote comes to mind too. "Get busy living, or get busy dying".

But... let's say that you choose a different path at Endeavor. What can you do that will garner a better position?
