As I mentioned in another thread though, a junior FO who passes the CPP interview could potentially move on to United far faster than they think.
Such a valid point. Thanks for reminding me (and anyone else that might be reading this). That's the thing... I'm not expecting to go from my single engine turboprop 135 operation to a major. I know it's not going to be a year or two at a regional, either. I know no matter where I go, it's going to be 5-10 years, IF I even get the call. I want to go somewhere I can enjoy working at until I move on. I don't want to hate life waiting for my number to get called. I've already done my time in boot camp
