Well that’s a good option and advise which I agree and want to do
but I experienced in the past with different situations I tried push the class date a few months back and was no problem they all said ok give us a call back so we can put you in other near future classes and no worries , waooo cool right ?
But when I called later no one even acknowledged or wanted to listen to me like I am the looser and the bad guy (aviation class dates so you snooze you loose) in their mind,you should been in class when it was offered so you didn’t take it and now no more class for you

As y’all know every few decades is like that big hiring wave comes and if you jump and get on it you’re made it,if not when the hiring waves passes you and doors are closed then doesn’t matter if you have heavy/wide body 121 pic or space shuttle Type Rating with pic time ,the game will be over .
That’s why My friends telling me if at least I finish IOE and be current in Type they are smarter then that to let you go and not work with someone after spending time and money for that pilot .
Or I just wait another year to see what happens which already by then I could have been upgraded .
Thank you for all responses
