You said
....but seriously....a command after 18 months is a bit unrealistic.....do CAL have a seniority system?.....did you ask them about promotion policy?....
your right they told me 3 years but I could see the writing on the wall....no no seniority system......and yes I asked but later found out they had only upgraded 5 or 6 expats in the history of the company
I think things will change in the near future as the asian demand for pilots continue to grow.....should stick at it for a while and see what happens....but think of it in a positive way....you got some wide body jet experience......cultural experience.......good or bad...it makes you a better person.......
You are totaly correct couldn't agree more I grew as a person and a pilot.
