It might come sooner, it might come later. Nobody knows.
You're kidding right? I've been here for 2 years and had a line for 3 months while the senior FOs were transitioning over to the ATR. DON'T EXPECT A LINE. If any line it will be the standby line. With the latest VAC bid I still won't hold a line, and I'm in DFW!!! I love working here and everything is worth it, but don't get your hopes up, it still sucks sometimes. Like 0600 sign in for airport abuse lol. On the otherhand, I've gotten paid to watch a lot of movies this year. Just be reasonable, if you get the job here, thats all you got was the job. No seniority, and most likely a future of commuting for the first year. I wouldn't want to move to my first assignment, it can likely change. Good luck future FOs, I hope you have something in savings.
