If he chose the 175 how many extra months would he be commuting?? 6 months? The only question is would it be worth it to commute to a line for 12-13 months vs commuting to reserve for three months then a crappy line for another three months folllowed by 6 months of reserve in base with airport stand by shifts?
He could hit 950 hours then go to the 145 CA in MIA.
Like I stated it a previous post, people do what’s best for them. He asked an opinion and I stated mine. I value not commuting and don’t mind sitting reserve if it meant I don’t have to commute. To each their own.
