However, be patient and wait and you should get it in 3-5 months.
Think of getting sent to Manassas as you welcome to the family present.
Most Q400 pilots are Cpts right now and most FO's at senior bases will not transition, why if you are close to Saab upgrade.
Just tough it for a few months like most of us had to.
So age/ seniority out of training means nothing at all? I'm 36 and thought that might increase my chance of getting something tolerable. I get that they put you where the company needs you but whats with the smoke and mirrors about picking bases and seniority out of training getting first pic? It's all Bull****? Thats bogus. And I can tough it out, believe me, that much I can do. Just like to be around to see my little girl (3) sooner than later. If I were single and younger I couldn't give acrap where I went.
