My God I feel sorry for you guys. I know what it's like at the start, FR are a bunch of money grabbing pikeys.
Earning less than a grand a month when you finally start, with huge loans, and starting.. well I sat a home for 4 months
after my type rating waiting for a phone call. If you're not hearing anything call or email them, they'll forget about you otherwise, don't be scared of calling them for goodness sake!
View it as a step on the ladder to move on else where. I got my command with them in 3 years but there is an overdose of new F/O's at the mo and deliveries have been temporarily culled by order of the IAA, so things may be slow for a while. That said new bases are opening frequently. You will however still fly no less than 750hrs/yr, and you'll be better off financially from day one on a brookfield contract (no benefits in FR anyway..)
Have respect for the Captains that train you and enjoy your 3 or 4 years, because after that, trust me you'll want to move on.
