Good luck.
Thanks for the reply. I accepted a start date in early March, which is just after I turn 31. Quite excited for what the future holds over at mainline.

Doesn't change anything now but, subject to seniorty, could you go from a SH CA to a LH CA? Or is it more common to sit as a LH FO for a couple of years beforehand to get a feel for it all?
