Quite the opposite; the reason that I'm at ZK is because of quick time buliding and upgrade. Yeah life is a bare while you are here but the quicker you upgrade the quicker you get out (that is until the recent downturn in the industry), thats the plan.
The company knows this and thats why they pay so little and the contracts suck; not to mention pilot unity. Most pilots aren't here long enough to do any real justice in improving contract. Spent 2 months on reserve and now hold a good day line with weekends off. Looking at upgrade in 2-3 months and I've only been here for 9 months.
