Most 2 to 3 year FO's I know at Big-3 are getting what they want off (indeed, possibly by working reserve that month on purpose...but) to include Christmas and Thanksgiving off
yeah but the Goal is to be a Captain, not a career F/O. A lot of the people debating leaving arent F/Os, they’re senior CAs….
just something to think about. We all should have left in 2021. I left at the tail end of this hiring boom and it cos me 6,000#s at least and could have held CA within 6 months and now who knows how long and when / if I hold it, I’ll be Junior for a long time.
