What a novel idea, I should try that.

It would be great if I had a choice… fly as much as I can, work as hard as I can, and upgrade when I feel ready. Well past 1,000 hours.
But it sounds like this should be preached to the people that are forcing this to happen, the big bosses. But for now, I have to be very careful, and nitpick how many hours I fly per month exactly to avoid upgrading to soon?
I get the whole forced upgrade thing, but you have made it sound like you are intentionally picking up trips and flying on your days off. That is different than flying your awarded line and reaching upgrade time whenever it comes.
