You hit the nail on the head! When I got hired a year and a half ago my goal was to fly as much as possible to get over 1,000 hours so I could be ready to get the upgrade, in the base I want. With the forced upgrades now I’m just above 800 hours only flying OT. I’ve flown exactly 0 hours in February so far and intend to keep it that way, which is really unfortunate because I really do enjoy flying the plane. It’s why I become a pilot in the first place.
