It'll be interesting to see how many take the mandatory. I am still hopeful that it will take a little while for me to get mine and I'll have a better idea of the upgrade picture at my current gig. As it stands right now, I'm about 15 people away from upgrade so depending on attrition, I could be in the left seat in a few months. Hmmmmm....
That's a tough choice. If you jump ship and come back to Trans States, you might be sitting in the right seat for upwards of 3 or 4 years. However, if you stay where you are at, you will definitely get into the left seat much quicker and since TPIC is the name of the game, you might want to seriously consider staying put.
Other things to consider are QOL, pay, where you're gonna be based, etc.
Also, remember the NMB might make it's decision on the direction of our negotiations just as we get back, so there's no telling how that's going to end up.
Food for thought.
