No matter what I still need to finish my 1000 hours of 121, just like everyone else, but in my case I need to go well beyond that 1000 in the right seat instead of upgrading like many others. If that's what it takes, I'll just keep putting in my time and pay my dues...
Pay your dues? Did you sit 1-2 years reserve and get a 2.5 year upgrade like most of the the 2016 hires? I’d say going straight to a line as an FO and upgrading the day you hit 1500 CPZ time, possibly bypassing into another line, isn’t as miserable as it may seem
Miserable is being the bottom guy on reserve, stuck in the wrong base, with no vacancy, newhires, and no upgrades for 8 months, flying about 15 hours a month.
Shoutout to my fall 2016 hires
