I'll have been here 2 years early this summer and I calculated about 10 more months to upgrade...

Where is one able to fly an Airbus (or any plane) at a livable wage? My understanding is those of us without an ATP and lower time have no choice but to go to the regionals to build time and get 121 experience before being competitive for a job at a major or legacy.

Not here. They would need massive CA attrition and lots of FOs coming in who are waiting to build time for upgrade. Right now, it's upgrade in seniority order.

just to build on this. Anyone else doing street captains are doing because they don't have the qualified firs officers. We do. The problem is we are strugling with finding new fos to back fill the upgrades.
