DEFO roster bids
Something to consider for anyone thinking of joining as a Direct Entry First Officer. You will be the most junior FO for roster bids until all 600+ Second Officers that joined ahead of you have been upgraded to First Officer. Then you will finally move off the bottom of the bidding barrel.
So for the first 5-7 years you will have zero chance of bidding any good trips - or getting commuter friendly rosters due to your lack of seniority. You will get the dregs - the India patterns etc. Lots of 2 pilot night flying.
