Yes, because I'd rather be two years in this career as an FO on reserve pay and 1200 hours, than a captain with captain pay 1000 SIC and 1000PIC time... I'm sure that the 1200 hour FO will look better to a Major because he has allowed himself to suffer for two years on reserve and low pay but showed loyalty, than the captain with more experience and proved he would do what is needed to better himself.
In this live there as sheep and wolves...
