VJW makes a good point.
You only have to be junior once! 😂 yeah right. Maybe if you have little career ambition other than do as little as possible in the RHS of a LH yet. Most FO’s want to jump to LH and most captains on SH are treading water. Be junior just once they say. Yes but you will wait 15 years or more for command. What’s LHS long haul? 20 years? If everyone was junior once we would be in a real mess.
Rosters for a junior pilot on short haul. Really not that bad. Think of it this way and you will be fine. A couple of reserve periods a year. Work most weekends and mostly 2 day 6 or dirty doubles. Possibly 18 days work a month. It will however improve providing recruitment continues. If it stagnates then it’s a rough ride for a while.
