Thanks for the info. Well I have about 5300 on the bus alone and 6900 total time. I was told that upgrade can happen between 6 months to a year, but I'm skeptical, is that even realistic? If it is, that would definitely change the dynamic. How much does an FO take home a month, if you could pm me with the info I'd appreciate it, do you currently fly for them?
those hours might land you on the left seat of another bus operator next door paying roughly 9500 USD a month on 80hrs...
