Possible paths:
- Stay put, upgrade, and wait for the major
- Seek an interim position, e.g., Spirit, Frontier, JetBlue
- Move to a regional and work up from there
Thoughts? Recommendation? Suggestions?
Thanks!!
Do you like your job and the people you work for/with? Do you fly more than 300 hours/year? I’d stay. And I’d network while I was there for better part 91 jobs, just in case I decided to change course and do that route.
Hate the job and are desperate for that 121 gig? Do everything you can to get on at an LCC, while still applying to all legacies. You never know when the music will stop. That “interim” position could always be your final destination. Choose wisely.
