And for the love of god, do not upgrade just because it's the cool thing to do. its amazing how many I fly with that are counting down the hours but can't properly talk on the radio yet. It's no joke, get some experience first instead of on the job training on the left seat with unsuspecting passengers.
Well said! To be fair, most I flown with know their limit not to upgrade yet. Just because your # is up doesn't mean you're ready to take on the responsibilities. For me, it was about my 4th year before I think I was remotely ready.
