Haha..nice fix. So is that true about Cathay then? Hong Kong isn't an F/O base? I 'd also love to fly the Q in Japan for ANA, but again, that will have to wait till I have the 1000 PIC and my big bad ATP..

Th problem with that route is that carriers like Cathay, ANA or the good domestic cargo outfits like Polar, Atlas, etc..want that PIC time to be transport cat in a crew cockpit. Single pilot IFR is great for total PIC time but does not meet the mins for where I want to go. Also, some of those cargo companies fly airframes and have a QOL I'm just not gonna take a paycut for.
I want to go up, I'd go lateral if the QOL/Pay were at least what I have now with a better future, but I won't go down unless I had no other choice to stay flying.
