Maybe someone could correct me on that.
ya. They push back your class for “transition” to a different aircraft. But at least your pay protected. Ive seen FO’s flying 3 months on Captain pay. Or CRJ captains getting 175 pay... Rule of thump. Have. A 2-3 month window were you wouldn’t mind going to training...
