So when do you upgrade? If you have been at Envoy and have 1000 hours you should be upgrading. Taking the standing bid MAY NOT be the quickest way to 121 PIC time. But the thing you could have controlled was ACTIVELY picking up as much OT as possible and transferring to the base that gives you the most seniority. The same is true with upgrade. PREFERENCE bid to the base and equipment that gives you the most seniority. More relative seniority is the only thing you can really control but may have to be willing to sacrifice to get it. Same with picking up OT. Did you take your vacation, or work it?
You have to have 300 hours PIC to be an IOE Instructor.
