Timeline
Flaps five
Well a little optimistic on the timeline. More like:
SO 3 1/2 - 4 1/2
JFO 2-3 (used to never exist is used to hold you back and keep some of your salary!!)
FO HKG additional 1- ???? years By this time it may be a long wait to get a base so you may need 10 years seniority or who knows ??
Captain 15 yrs?? Well you may be close on this one, but you may only be doing it for ego as the pay may be less than based FO !!
Of course you could take early freighter command and then it looks like this :
SO 6 months !
Freighter FO 2 years ( after you give up seniority to get the FO !! )
Freighter Captain 12-15 years and then pax in HKG til the end.
If you join with a time line you may be disappointed. If you join willing to let your fate roll along with whatever the bosses decide in any given week you will be fine !
Good Luck !
