I am to start with CX as SO, but also have the option to fly short sectors on a medium jet(A320) with loads of hands on time.(I have no jet experience)
My question is;
1)How do you cope for 4years as a SO? Aren't you bored to death, just watching the autopilot?
2)Doesn't it take all the fun out of flying?
3)Are there SO's that don't make the upgrade JFO/FO? Does that mean you would have spent 4years without having a rating in the end??
4)Would it be better to get some jet experience and then reapply as FO? Seems CX is going to start bringing FO's direct onto PAX fleet??
5)Is flying for CX as FO really worth 4 years wait?
Thanks
