This statement has me a little concerned. I've run all the scenarios to try to make sure that going to United is in my best interests, and part of that equation is finances. My worst (reasonable) case scenario had me making captain money after 12 years, but I thought I was being conservative.
I only have 20ish years left under the current rules, so I need to maximize as much as I can. Any guess of an upgrade time for a new hire? I've considered that I might need to be a fo for my whole career for QOL, but I had at least hoped to have the option.
