If you ask me, poor career planning on your part, if you ask me. It was no secret two years ago that a pilot shortage was looking.
A lot of PSA pilots who have been hired 12-18 months ago have already upgraded because they had the time, have ~500 people below them, and will probably be in the middle of the seniority list by the time the year is over. Not bad at all for some. Everything is a matter of perspective.
