Let's not forget the number one reason that First Officers are invisible !!

Their flight time is valued at next to nothing in regards to getting a job with most major airlines. Turbine PIC is the bottom line. FO time nearly worthless.

Oh yea, and FO's are paid 60 to 70% of what captains make. Yet another example of their value to the industry.

The only thing that matters is reaching the left seat. Until then you might as well be invisible.
