Instant grarification generation i sware! 😉...
Reminds me of story i heard a Capt at UPS tell me how he was an FO for 18yrs before he upgraded to Capt. Talk about stagnation! Its due to a period of massive hiring and then no hiring.

Another prior military transport guy who was an FO at UPS told me about his decison not to get on with FEDEX because he saw stagnation, but went with UPS for less pay, but soon after FEDEX had movement and UPS became stagnent....


Good luck to that guy who made that comment abt no thanks at Envoy and that higher pay & bonus means nothing due to over 1yr resv time. 😂😅😂😂.

Understand what the majors might be looking for in 5-8yrs will not be the same as what they are looking for now.

i.e. AA & others in the 1980's/1990 snatched up mostly only Military, once that dried up, the flood grates opened until economic down turn/accidents/BK/consolidations / surplus of pilots from Eastern, Pan Am, TWA, ect., Don't you see how many military pilots have to get with a Regional first to fly with the big 3 pax major?

There was a time Delta was the worst, and AA the best. FEDEX the worst, UPS the best. British Airways had its glory days as did Air France once.

Ebbs and flows... timing is KEY yall. Be smart & research the past get a clue. Airline business models has changed, but its still an Airline, certain supply & demand principles do not.🤔 Make decisions not on emotion. Where do u want to be in 6-10yrs? Where will retirement numbers work out best for you? Don't just chase a jet, chase job security and opportunity for the LONG TERM. Its not TPIC.... notice what happened / is happening to the covet 4yr degree requirement they ALL had 3yrs ago. I am not advocating that it does not matter, i am not saying you don't need TPIC or a 4-yr degree. You need to be competitive, get them. Seek more qualifications beyond the minimum. Get a masters and PHD if you want. Hope it helps you in 5-10yrs. I know i'll be seeking a masters for personal reasons and personal goals and achievements.

Just MHO.
