Be careful believing advertising and recruiters. Great company but NYC is new hire destiny and upgrades will slow as all new planes have arrived and new hires from 2015 are starting to get 1000 hours 121.
You do realize the last vacancy was just a filler vacancy that came out just a month after the previous one right? There were supposed to be 4 large vacancies this year, instead there were 4 large and 1 small one.
People here, probably because of our history, are too quick to sound the alarm. The short upgrade will continue, SSPers will be leaving every month for a couple years still and even "FO" SSPers are mostly captains now.
