Maybe it’s a good thing because there’s not much to complain about? I’m halfway through IOE and having a blast. (Of course that’ll wear off and I’ll have things to complain about later haha) But it gives you perspective into training so...

There's still plenty of things to complain about. Trip quality on the Q400 continues to plunge with the runway closure in SEA. 2 of my last 3 overnights were 10 hours min rest with 5-6 leg days due to massive flow delays.
12 hour days with 2-3 hours of flying. awesome.
"Just go to the jet." Why, so i can take a pay cut to do the same exact Q400 routes? Maybe 1 leg less?

Cat III in the Q can also bug out sometimes, hope the jet isn't the same way.

I also ended up with a 21 hr Seattle overnight because I broke down in Helena and got in too late to finish the day.

This SEA runway closure is ridiculous. And the weather really hasn't been a factor, yet.
No Q upgrades scheduled for November. October class has only 2 Q upgrades.

If you want to gain seniority the jet is the plane to get on, in either seat.
