If you're dying for that 4th stripe for other reasons i.e. you gotta be the one running the show, then hit up American and run to E-190. You'll upgrade within your first year.

The game has definitely changed here in 2018 on how we make our $ but I am having my best year yet -- less work and more $
On track to do over 300K as an F/O but you have to live in domicile and have to know what game to play when -- it is not the same game this year as it was in previous years due to being temporarily over-manned on F/O's right now.
