Career WB FO's are common enough.

I definitely want to try that type of flying but what I’m noticing is being a CA here (UAL) is probably 10x easier than being a CA at NK, lol. Everyone does what they’re supposed to, scheduling isnt working from home, (they actually Get rid of Frost on the A/C before you show up, IMAGINE THAT!!, DX isnt filing you through lines of weather, there’s always food and theres so much variety in trips that even going to work sometimes isnt bad. So WB F/O sounds great but upgrading is going to be the easiest Job I’ll ever have. The CAs here do way less than we did at NK. It’s so painful (I mean not really but you know what I mean) being an F/O to these mid twenty something CAs who have been in the industry for 3 years but hopefully Im not stuck in this seat against my will for long….
