Define waiting. You are only waiting if you already have options on the table. Otherwise, you are actively building the resume necessary to be hired at your career destination job. As others have said, you should be actively pursuing options outside of flow. Hiring may hit records this year and next. Ideally you want to be hired on the front side of that. The ULCC option (if you even have it) is it’s own ball of wax as others have stated. Kill time by upgrading to LCA, volunteering for safety positions or sim instructor. Continuously look to improve your position so that flow becomes a backstop, not your primary option.
