I have been waiting a year for DFW, could have got it right out of training in the 737. Whenever I compare my schedule to 737 classmates or even junior pilots, it's always a gut punch. Another factor is more senior 737 guys bidding over to the 320 slowing progression even more.
You say that sitting in FiFi. The 73 is junior for a reason and guys senior to you are bumping you down in the 320 also for a reason...
Its all good. Time is your friend. Come to PHL! The flying is great, just expect to wait 20 min at the gate on go-home leg everytime; Philly Special baby! Now, put your coffee back on your tray table and slide your seat back and dream of the 73 guys wanting to do just that
