Quick Upgrade at Continental
On the last vacancy bid, the junior guys able to hold Captain, have been with the company for 23 months, and were down to about 83% on the list. The reason - senior FO's are holding off bidding Captain due to the new Preferential Bidding System which is degrading schedules and lifestyles.
So for a quick upgrade pursue that Continental job, and when you want a life (and you have the seniority) you can bid up/down to FO.
