On the mock bid I was still 200 numbers from the most junior award of the upgrade I was bidding. I was thinking "oh cool maybe it'll happen sometime this year. Then BAM. On the final I got it and some people junior to me got it. I was not expecting this! Hell, until a week ago I was expecting 2027 at the earliest.
congrats! May you not regret your decision! I too took an early upgrade, however circumstances were different, I hope. Mine was on MD88. After improving seniority…. Then it went backwards as it was drawn down. I’d guess if your upgrade is on 717, you may experience the same. Anything else should be a good ride! Getting truly senior in a BES ruins you. If all you know is being jr, then being jr in the left seat is much better than being jr in right seat!
