Decision time
 

I currently work at a good company, but there is no movement and upgrade could take up to 7 years. I like working here and i knew it was going to be this way before working here but i tried to convince myself lthat it would be fine. Now i finally came to my senses, well i did months ago but now i need to take action. I now feel like a committed career suicide. I know this is vague but that was intentional, you guys are smart..What would you do in this situation..

What company? What kind of time do you have? If you are wanting a quicker upgrade, there are many more options out there. ExpressJet and Skywest have quicker upgrades without completely sacrificing your QOL. How is your QOL at your current airline?

Do you work at AE? A lateral move from there would be risky, IMO. The regionals change almost daily, and todays 18 month upgrade is tomorrows 7+yr upgrade. From what I hear, AE is not a bad place to work, and the upgrade time is starting to come down. Stick it out, unless you are looking to improve your QOL, chasing upgrade is generally a bad idea. Just my 2 cents....

If you read it twice you could figure out what company it is. I have over 1200/370. QOL is ok for now, will be better next year but being a 7 year FO is starting to scare me.

The suspense is KILLING ME!:D

Come on dude.. think.. I just dont want to throw it out there like that...

im gonna go with mesaba

Me: Alex, what is American Eagle?

Alex: correct

Me: Let's change it up and go with Alter Ego Airlines for $200, Alex.

Ok Bobo, I understand. I am one of the few pro-eagle pilots on this forum. Here is my reasoning:

Everyone has this crazy idea they are going to go to an airline with a quick upgrade, upgrade, and move on to major with the bare minimum of 1000 pic turbine. Unless your uncle Joey is the chief pilot at that airline or your uncle Mikey has some influence on their HR department, you are going to spend a great deal of time at a regional. You need to decide if you would rather spend it at a good company or a bad one. Fortunately, there are good companies that also have quick upgrades. However, if I was in your opinion, there would only be one company I would leave Eagle for and I think you know who that is. How long have you been there?

BTW, what base/equip?

Oh Oh Oh...I know I know...pick me...Is it Horizon!!!
