You might be a captain, you might not. Banking on the crap JO spews is like banking on some rumor you read on a forum or heard in a crew room.
JO has nothing to offer except fast upgrades. That's why he keeps the recruiters and everyone else toeing the party line of fast upgrades that may or may not happen. Of course he will keep saying that. If he said oh I don't know could be 1 year could be 5 years, he knows that will be all over the forum and no one would come here. But the reality is there is no guarantee anywhere of a 1-2 year upgrade, especially here if we don't get more flying.
serious question, not trolling -
With this mindset, why would you accept employment with one of the lowest paying airlines. If you're gonna be stuck in the right seat for five years, wouldn't you strive for something with better pay and work rules?
