Well said Older & Wiser. Opportunities for progression career advancement within ops are rare. (Should you want to further yourself position and salary wise)
Ops is great for learning the mechanics of how an airline operates/ or a base as the case may be. It would be worth setting your sights on a related area as well e.g within the commercial team (in the case of an airline) and possibly seeking advice on what you feel you might be able to study at the same time. Your ops experience will definitely be an advantage should a vacancy arise in the future in a related area. Although I no longer work in aviation, I started in ops and moved into commercial where salary improvement and progression was much more easily attainable. Things might be a little tougher now but thought I would pass on a little of my experience.
Good Luck Lasiorhinus
