Thanks for all the encouraging responses everyone, it seems like everyone agrees that taking this job was a smart move. This post wasn’t really for anything other than getting some people’s opinions (and maybe a bit of a peace of mind that I did the right thing). The reason for that is at this point there is nothing I can do! I already am here at Cape Air and almost done with training. The training contract is non pro rated and began the day I walked in the door. The only thing upgrading has to do with it, is that’s when the 15mo commitment starts counting down. They will however send me to ATP-CTP as soon as I meet the mins, then an in house ATP checkride in the 402, and then I’ll be flying as a captain. No wait times on upgrading, since they don’t want us as SIC’s!
