Yeah, I remember that line. That's exactly what they told me when I interviewed 3 years ago. "We're going to have a new contract very soon, and you'll be a Captain in 2 years!".
Three years later, and I'm an FO who is at least 2 years away from an upgrade who has never made more than $70,000 a year to be gone from home 19 days a month while having my sleep cycle absolutely wrecked on every trip.
I'm glad to hear that the new contract is finally right around the corner!
