When members of NJASAP and management look you in the eye and tell you something for a fact, and it turns out to be completely untrue, that would be a lie. Won't say it is happening now, but it absolutely happened in my interview class, and others can chime in if they please. There is always a large amount of speculation and hope that thing will go a certain way, but there is a whole other side when people who should know, are telling you things and saying "I promise" or "I guarantee it".
You weren’t lied to.
Upgrades continue at a rate that can be supported by the sims. Post AQP, I wouldn’t be surprised to see that rate increase, which would chew through remaining SICs pretty rapidly right to what your seniority would have been... 26 months from now if it began today. Give it 6 months though to start the clock.
Which means you could then have been a BBD7500 SIC making 200K+ easily flying around the globe. If you pushed it just a bit, add another $50k.
But you’ve got red eyes in the Bus now... so there’s that.
