How Jr is it, btw? First time poster. Had my app in at FedEx for about a month now. About 6800 TT, 5,000 121 TPIC. However, I had a long layoff and left 121 flying for 14 years, and just returned as Jet PIC with 100 hrs of recent experience. Previous 121 Check Airman, Master's Degree, and no skeletons, but I'm fearful the extended layoff and time limited to RJ's could reduce my chances for a look. I primarily ask about current/anticipated upgrade time b/c I'm in my mid-50's, and just now repositioned to enter the hunt now that my kids are raised. Many thanks in advance.
