Not talking about 1 year and then off to a major but when it comes to pilot recruiter, check airman, chief pilot? Other leadership positions?

There’s a bit of stagnation in some positions except sim instructor, LCA, and ACP. Union positions are pretty stagnant as are recruiter positions.

In our books somewhere it’s like 5000 hours I think. 2500 in type or some weird number. I could be off. It could be 3000 total i don’t remember. So until those people leave or you get the time. You can always move up the ladder by becoming an instructor, etc

The union chairman position are very stagnant, but you could probably get a non chairman position after a year or so.

You sound like a great candidate for a corporate pilot job....
