But were there other companies that would have upgraded you sooner? At 1000 hours? Heck, even given you CA pay as a "near DEC"? Given you a new type rating and you'd already be collecting TPIC - both of which woukd have made you more attractive to a major? And at a higher salary to boot. OK, I understand some people may have had some checkride issues in the past and warned you to avoid "hazard" training events, but the only way to put those behind you quickly is to put successful events after them.
