While it's a bit premature for me to consider at the moment, I'm also aiming for an upgrade. It wouldn't be feasibleto if flying twice a month during the winter.
I joined straight after Covid from an ACMI, to get to upgrade you need one full winter and 800 hours, then I failed the upgrade test and need 2 more OPCs with excellent grades again. Resigned, as it is just not worth the money to wait, especially, ACMIs again pay SFO same as you get in LDA as CP. Yes, people are leaving heavily. Also promissed salary during training was postponed until first full month after Line Check. No pennies before.
Rent has risen in VIE + train+ food, you will spend around 1.2 - 1.5k a month in VIE. If your income is 3 to 3.6 (max 100 BH), is it worth it?
13th and 14th salary is paid only if full 5 months on payroll (after LC).
Consider carefully.
Good luck!
