We fly very low hours and career opportunities are slim to nome. That's why a type change is a big thing for us I guess...

I will most probably follow the path that brings better opportunities with the upgrade. The hesitation also came from the fact that widebody experience can be useful indeed. Something for something I guess, no good or bad choice.

I wish everybody a Merry Christmas and happy time with your ones!
