I totally agree.. unless you live in STL and dont have the time to go to CHQ, you should stay away from Hulas and TSA. It will make you jaded before you even know what hit you.. Experimental, did you get furloughed or were you like me and jump ship before they could get to you?

and i'm crying myself to sleep every night thinking....GOD, I'M STILL HERE!!! 
The issue i'd be worried about on waiting for the upgrade, is there's nothing guaranteed. There's two sides to the coin, you have the good lines and tons of time off and are a senior FO. But if the upgrades suddenly cease, while you were enjoying the life, then you might be stuck in the right seat for a while. Other side of the coin, if the upgrades cease, and the recent upgrades are forced back to the right seat, then nothing changed in the first place, except you took another checkride, got an ATP, and are once again in the same seat you would have been flying had you not taken the upgrade...
All in all, upgrade time just depends on how you look at it, and what you plan on doing when your time comes around.

haha.. that sounds about right.. what a miserable existence that was.. But that's what you get when you're employed by management that has no idea how to treat people or motivate employees.
One of the classics right when GoJet got started and we were still trying to prove that it was the same company: the drug lady caught up with us and gave a random test to our FA, and while we were waiting, I was talking to her and found out that management "reassigned" her to Trans States Holdings. Which meant her work load doubled (as she was now in charge of TSA and GoJet), but her pay remained the same.. haha.. absolutely ridiculous..
