How about ATR42 CDR vs 737 FO?
If the original poster doesn't mind, I'd like to 7500 this thread for a bit.
I've got about 5000TT with 3000PIC (2000 on T-props incl LTC hours) I got a job as a 737 FO 2 years ago. Despite healthy expansion at my company and the recommandation of the vast majority of the CDR's I fly with, I have been passed over for command due mostly to political reasons (i.e. guys with better connections have passed me over despite barely meeting the minimum legal requirements for command, and DEC's hired with no jet time).
As this situation will likely continue, I obviously have to make a move. I'm also in the enviable position of having a couple of options. I can go fly an A320 with a promised 6 month time to upgrade, or I can go on an ATR as DEC. Pay is better on the ATR, lifestyle would be about the same. I also have no idea how honest the A320 people are when they promise the upgrade.
So, what would you do?
