Quicker you do that the quicker you can get hired on elsewhere (ACMI, LCC, Majors etc) whenever things turn around.
why do people still have this logic? If there is only enough flying for x number slots for captains, the base you want, lines, or whatever, it doesn’t matter how many people are under because you will never move into one of those desirable spots until people leave them. You gain seniority by people leaving above you. Go to somewhere where people regularly move from on top of you. Look at expressjet before shutdown, they had tons of new people but upgrades still took 5+ years, know why? Cause no one left at the top. People kept cycling through the bottom but the movement needs to happen at the top (or at least above you) to move up.
