I'm also glad you have insurance from day one, your hotel in training is covered,your paid while in training,and your second year is close to a hundo an hour.
Had a gal in the JS,who was basically bragging about how she has never upgraded because she wanted 19 days off a month and was sr. ......then the pending interview with momma U came up...she was so excited, me not so much.
I guess that's why I'm just a line puke,not in the hiring dept.
I think there is a big difference between not upgrading for several years because you can't and not upgrading because you don't want to. The recruiting folks told us they know there are high time FOs out there in the former situation and are willing to give them a shot if they have a strong resume. It's a bummer being labeled a certain way simply because of ones credentials when they were hired. I know RJ FOs hired here that breezed through training and super senior RJ CAs that struggled. It all depends. We have all flown with guys during our careers that left us scratching our heads. We have also been pleasantly surprised. I look forward to flying with all of you at some point. Since I gained my other wing, I'll even get the beers this time around!
