The airline has already doubled in size since I was hired in 2016, 747's are harder to acquire which means slowed growth, and simulator time for 76 and 77 is in high demand creating backlogs. Should we aquire five to ten more 77's, everyone currently on property will have a relatively quick upgrade, should they want to do it. For some one not yet hired, my crystal ball is very cloudy. I just don't know. As others have said, upgrading here is a more in-depth decision than say a regional. You may get your quick upgrade, and maybe you'll not want to take it? The pay as an FO is good enough for many that it isn't a decision based on finances.
