Get over yourself. Those hired today as CQFO's will have to wait until all Fo's senior to them upgrade before they will get a chance to hold a line as captain. As they get desperate for pilots these mins will probably be reduced even more making the wait even longer. Have spoke to a few CQFO newhires that are quite upset about what's happening there.

If TSA is able to staff all the aircraft, no one will be sitting reserve for a long time...whether you're a CQFO new hire, or a regular new hire. If you're already in the system, you'll upgrade to captain quickly...for the CQFO's you'll be bumped down time and time again, so getting a good line will be incredibly difficult...but it will eventually happen...and if not, you'll hopefully acquire enough Turbine PIC to be competitive to move on before it gets really desperate.

But I will get over myself when you come back in this thread in maybe a few months. Find that you're actually wrong about everything. And you realize that you spent all this time bashing trans states for no reason. Then admit it to everyone, that you were actually wrong. Then see that cqfo are actually line holder captains.

Look, the perspective is - almost nobody describes any regional as a good deal, but as regionals go, TSA is not a bad place. Signed contracts for expansion combined with attrition to majors will upgrade you within a year and half. Labor and management are getting along well. They are implementing a Preferential Bidding System. Do we have the best contract - Nevets says no
and I agree, but of those with better contracts most are not growing and have arguably worse corporate relations/climate.As for CQFO, even if you never spend a day in the left seat, you'll be making almost 2x what you would as a straight FO, and you'll upgrade to CA soon anyway.
