About the Quick upgrade at Silver, I am pretty sure it got very Stagnate and now your upgrade time for many FOs at silver will take a while. Many Majors/Legacies do not require PIC anymore. Be smart, Knowledgeable, Hours,Educations (4 year Degree or higher), stay out of trouble and know people and you will get hired with in the next 5 years by majors, even without PIC time. Times have changed.
You have heard of the 10 year cycle right? GET THE PIC !!!!

All I am saying to all of you is that If you are complaining about Silver and now that Junior Captains have been displaced to the right seat then leave, the doors are open right now to all. The majors/Legacies will be accepting applications again in the fall and leave, but you are going to sit here and complain everyday talk smack, management this and management that and not do anything about it, no one will feel sorry for you Freez3192. Please don't tell me that 3192 is your date of Birth, because if it is you should be going somewhere with a future!


HAHAHAHAHHAA jokes on you.

You are so far off base here I don't have the time or patience to set you straight.

Default Where'd all the FOs go?

Can anyone answer... What is a good reason to stick around here as an FO?

As one who has been waiting way too long to upgrade, it's getting harder and harder to find reasons to stay. When speaking with the CP after the initial staffing bids, his first statement was, don't worry about it, it will won't happen. Meaning they had no intentions on ever following through with what was published. (Just resetting the 12mo clock) Next, he said that he couldn't wait for planes to be flown by robots, so he didn't have to deal with pilots anymore. Now, with the mass exodus of FOs to go fly jets and make more money, it looks like an upgrade class will take place any time in the near future. I say this because I don't believe they'll upgrade anyone when short FOs and check airman are sitting right seat FO unavailability. It appears many have put in their resignation in the last few weeks and many others I spoke with have upcoming class dates elsewhere.
I'm not trying to be negative, rather just seeking opinions of what good could come of this.

So, where are FOs going these days? Mostly other Jet Regionals?
