I plan on applying this fall and will have about 730 hours by that time. I would like to start in the FO program to gain experience in the 120 with an eye to eventually becoming a 120 captain. Is that a possibility?
Also, I am concerned that the starting pay for an FO would make living on the west coast very difficult financially due to the high cost of living there. Any recommendations from those who have done it would be appreciated. TIA
