I have been in the 121 world since late 90’s. I was recently told to call the chief pilot when I called in sick for the death of a family member. Btw, only time I ever called in sick. CP was a douche and basically made me choose between job and family. No choice to be made. It is family every time.

When it looked like I could hold my preferred base as captain (plus it was time to start making cash), I "proffered to displace" to captain, which is a formal request that my seniority allow me to be displaced to captain before those junior to me, since these displacements occur starting from the bottom of the seniority list and work their way up.
I did this, rather than voluntarily bidding for captain, because I could take advantage of the benefits that come with displacement (i.e. no 24-month "training freeze" commitment to the equipment I was displaced into).
I had a fifteen years of 135/91 corporate in my former life.

From: Small to large - in that order.
Wondering if anyone can shed some light on this:
There's a section on their DEC recruitment page that says you can be eligible for "up to" $45k bonus with 500 PIC 135 time or 500 121. I am considering pursuing a start in 121, and while I've got <1000 135 time, I do have >500 135 PIC time. It sounds like I would of course go in as an FO and upgrade when I got the rest of the time to make up 1000 hours, correct? Yet take the $45k DEC bonus. Any other catches to be aware of here? (Aside from all the commuting and LGA CA displacement. I understand that.)
