I was an FO at SAX for 5 years before I became a
turboprop captain. Some things take time and effort. And I had been a professional pilot for 16 years when I joined SAX.
I don't want to belittle your attempts to get paid a proper salary, but the old style Nationwide where you could get command at 3000 hrs and still in your twenties are past. BTW, you now have an ALPA branch, so use the information and expertise available in ALPA to better your cause.
