Scroggs and Borat are on the money here. Totally and utterly correct in their impressions.
I flew with Scroggs on the A346. Had a very nice, but totally boring (no offence meant or implied) trip to Newark.
I left for a Command when the time and money was right to do so. Both Scroggs and I discussed the future at length on our flight together. He hasn't changed his views at all, and even though my Command is a low cost airline Command, it is a Command and I'm better off for it.
The fatigue frazzled me in VS and I couldn't cope with being 5000+ miles from home.
I think 15-20 years is probably pushing it slightly, but I would certainly bank on 12 - 15 years before promotion.
Too long for me.
Good overall package, but it could change. And I reckon it will. To 900 hours.
On the plus side, that will reduce Command time because people will leave when that happens.
