As mentioned in another topic if an F/O is thinking of GF for a fast upgrade then he/she is knocking on the wrong door. However I believe that if they're looking for a long term career with one airline, GF offers a great chance to achieve one's goals in aviation.
Trouble is that a large percentage of F/O's want command and want it now. Personally I feel that good long term career prospects are much more important than command.
To all the guys and galls in the interview process I wish you the best of luck, be yourselves and have confidence in your abilities.
Cheers
