That being said, if you're nearly to having a line, consider hanging on til you do flow, whenever that may be. Having a line makes the hell that is commuting slightly more manageable.
I'm over 1000 SIC now. Getting that over 2.5 years on reserve has been hard. Instructed before and did a little stint at a 135. My TT is the problem. I'm still slightly under 4k which isn't really competitive considering my only PIC is instructing plus about 500 at the 135. I've been to a Spirit job fair and plan to go to the next one in January. Also I'm beating down the door at JB and Virgin. I'm also going to the next Allegiant pilot meet and greet. I was on reserve during the last one they had. Imagine that.
Believe me, I know there are THOUSANDS that are more qualified than me out there right now and I do not feel entitled. I'm not going to stop though. Envoy has lit a fire under my rear end. I'm getting out of this four alarm dumpster fire as soon as I possibly can. Oh, and I don't believe that BS about Allegiant or other LCC being a "lateral" move. It ain't. It's a step up. Allegiant has their own set of problems, but the way I see it, I'd rather be having Allegiant problems than Envoy problems.
