no one is forced to upgrade. you can stay a fo forever, the contract only requires 5 years btw. or leave early and figure out the penalty. but I'm going to upgrade at 1k to get that big paycheck and big bonus. you?

Me? I’m at my forever airline. Which I was able to accomplish by not signing my life away to a regional (AA WOs at the time). Had a blast at RPA, but not worth selling your soul. You were told this though and didn’t listen because “nO oNe ElSe WaS hIrInG”.
Almost a 1/3 of my NH class at my legacy were career 135 guys with no 121 time. Could’ve gone that route and saved yourself.
Regardless, it’s neither here nor there. Enjoy your upgrade and your paycheck and bonus. Nothing at the regionals is free and you certainly paid it with your soul. Godspeed, Bricky.

I'm a different gen than you or we were just raised differently I'm happy for you. if you're actually at a legacy I'm happy for your 135 class mates . I don't live my life comparing myself to others. I don't delight or dance when I see others with "misfortune". again, no one else was hiring. again, I had CJOs and interviews but no class date. so I took the job that was hiring. seems like a wise decision as I'm looking at buying a house next year. I'll be a CA by early '25 or late '24. that's 3 years by my math. I'm fine with it. like I said, my life is about way more than my job. it's not how I find happiness I don't look down at anyone and others being "stuck" doesn't make me happy. too each their own
