just wondering what the DEC placements look like realistically? do you start as FO and then go to Upgrade directly after FO qual? (PSA was doing that a while back)
Are there Junior Bases for the 175 for CA? I noticed that the latest Class drop went mostly DFW. Being a DEC would likely be on Reserve for a while/eternity but are there chances for Long Call as Junior CA?
Thx..
The biggest problem you will encounter is you will be perpetually on reserve unless a more direct entry captains are hired junior to you. It's a bit of a ponzi scheme really.
Every time a senior FO upgrades they will move above you on the reserve list. If you live in base it's tolerable but just make sure you know what you are getting yourself into.
