Some see the SO role as beneath them, but the pay and lifestyle can’t be beat, especially in the long run.
Starting elsewhere as an FO would be on lesser conditions and delay getting a seniority number..
interesting; didn’t even think that mainlines were an option as all my time was FAA part 91 with no 135/121 time. Guess I’ll go chat with a recruiter a bit more directly there to see what they say. Thanks!
