Yeah, that kind of a line is very dreary to see, especially when you have many places that offer fast track command upgrade or the alike and you know you're gonna earn much less than you could elsewhere, if you stick to SFO at VA for years to come. But what's is it that determines your years before you're on the list for a command. is it the seniority among SFOs only or all RHS holders including Juniors and FOs?
Safe landings,
Command eligibility is determined on hours (can't remember the exact number but not that high without reading the books) and global seniority. When your number comes up your file goes before the CRB for them to review, they look at all aspects of your time in Virgin, conduct sims etc. If it's passed you get an offer of an Interview/ Sim. Once you pass that you're put into the command holding pool and will be assigned a course when they are available.
