Most folk had a bras command within a couple of years of joining and were on the jet within 3. In fact a few had jet commands within 5 years.

Nothing wrong with Hardy. Great company. Especially considering you can go from a single engine piston pilot to a metro captain. Or the hallowed conquest. However I’d happily take the haircut to go to Airnorth and wait for a major to send me south. Or somewhere further north. ‘Great success’.
