And what does “not being ready” for a forced upgrade have to do with this? 1,000 hours is 1,000 hours. Whether I hit it in 8 months from now or 2 years from now doesn’t really make much of a difference on if I’m ready or not. It’s still 1,000 hours either way…
I get it, you are willing to sacrifice QOL now to get to mainline faster. That is your prerogative, of course, and I wish you the best.
As for your statement about "1,000 hours is 1,000 hours," there is more to it than just the time. While I do see where you're coming from with that argument, it shows your inexperience and naivety. Pumping out 1,000 hours in 1 year is different than spreading it out over 2 years. The reason is that you get to experience winter ops and thunderstorms twice, rather than just once each, before upgrade. Just be careful when you do upgrade as the phrase "you don't know what you don't know" will get real very quick.
