That said, be aware BLI is far and away the most senior base in the system. Stagnant block hours and no one's moving. Upgrade, unless they grow the base, is many many years away. The top two BLI FO's are in the top 10 of FO's company-wide. And the rest probably aren't going anywhere meaning the bottom couple FO's will be the bottom couple FO's - indefinitely.

Of course QOL is unequaled. Reason no one wants to leave.

Thanks for the info, I have always heard it was out of the question for a new hire. Just trying to feel out all the options.
