I feel same way... I keep hearing all this talk of retirements, how a Newhire should expect CLT in 2 years, etc.... I have moved 2% in this base in last 3 years. My new advice to every new hire is unless you have a absolute good reason to move to CLT (family, from here, etc....), I’d highly recommend looking elsewhere if you wanna see any of the benefits of this massive hiring boom. My classmates are either baby captains or 777 FO’s and I can barely hold a line and haven’t seen a weekend off in years. Unfortunately I did have whole family here so anywhere else was a no-go with wife.
