Versus I’m Year 3 potentially Year 4 at SWA as a 73 FO.
if I can go to United and potentially upgrade to CA quick or get to WB FO in the next 2yrs I don’t think it becomes much of an issue. The issue is if I go and that stuff doesn’t become possible anymore. I guess it also depends on how fast United can get me in class. I think if they can get me in next spring it’s still viable, but if it’s late summer or fall…then I probably should reconsider. Thoughts?
and here’s another thing, you’re movement at swa will be based on growth and retirements. Even if you don’t ever touch a widebody, people senior to will, there’s almost always movement going going on here, 1 captain retiring off a widebody creates a ripple effect.
btw widebody reserve in base is probably one of the easiest jobs I’ve ever done.
