That's precisely why I brought it up. There doesn't seem to be much talk about the SO position and competitive mins.
Is it an undesirable position being a cruise pilot?
Is it avail on the freighter side?
Would building turbine PIC time and then transitioning to a direct entry FO be a better way to go?
I would imagine when one hits 1,000 turbine, things might look brighter.
Thanks.
