I understand being an FO for 10 years sucks. 8 years,2 regionals, 3 furloughs and 0 upgrades for me. And what's really funny is everyone I knew was clamoring for me to go where I did because the upgrade was less than a year. Well, that obviously didn't work out.
Some may be right, and the upgrades could take 30 years. I personally don't think so, but that's my call to make. I've got a lot of empathy for the 495 here as I've eaten from that end of the trough myself. But I'm tired of having people tell me what I should be doing, expecting me to eat from their hand when I counter and am told that I'm 100% wrong.
If you want to go 121, I wish every last one of you nothing but the best. I've been there, done that. Commuting to reserve is borderline inhumane and I've had my fill. Going to LGA, ORD, ATL or DFW every other leg isn't my cup of tea either. Bottom line, those of us that are happy and content being at NJA respect anyone's decision to leave. All I'm looking for is those that want to bail extending the same courtesy.

I hear 10 pilots on probation at FedEx have already been awarded 757 Capt slots out of MEM. People should check out Fedex if you want some fast upgrades and BIG TIME MONEY if you don't mind vampire hours.
Doesn't hurt to network during your next min-rest MEM layover.
