^ this. Honestly, I keep thinking about going to a CPP program for Captain. Having to move to a junior base for captain and wait and wait to try to get anywhere in this top heavy pilot group with no potential reward for career progression is downright depressing when you talk to some senior captains that tell you there’s no pilot shortage. On the other hand, the CPP airlines lack the bases, pay, work rules, etc. Damned if you do 🤷🏼*♂️
