You were placed in the Phenom, I would suggest you get comfortable as you will be in that seat for a very, very, very long time.
What he said. This is not the worst place to be but lets keep it real. Most attrition to the majors (currently just a few a month despite what people want to think)will be FOs so that won't really help the upgrade situation as we are still over 70 percent captains. There will not be true upgrades for another year or more. Crap the last Phenom Capt bid went to a bunch of CE-680 and XL captains for some strange reason. Everytime a Global SIC bid comes out some senior captain grabs it. Between these moves and displacement bids there will be little to no FO fleet swapping. The 39 month equipment lock won't really even factor in. All we can hope for is a great contract that pays FOs well or majors start picking us all up.
Glad to have you on board jetlife. We need all the help we can get.
