Won't say impossible, but unlikely. I was told the same when I was hired, but it's been almost two decades.....could maybe next year, but I don't want to be a bottom-Reserve commuting Guppy Capt.
That's what your expectation, above, portends. Except maybe the commute.
DAL had a vacancy around Feb. on two bids Captain went into 10,000 range. We had 3 year captains here awhile back. It will happen again. Someone's always wiling to chase it.
