Good information!
I already know all this. Why would a F.O. fly the 320 in GF and then upgrade to Captain on a E or C series? These airplanes are dead end. Pilots from regional jets are desperate to fly 320. Yes! it makes sense to fly 320 Captain after flying F.O. on 777/ 340 / 330 but not Captain on regional jets after 320 F.O. It will make sense in an airline with union and seniority , etc British airways, Cathay Pacific , KLM.
Flying a Boeing series or Airbus series will land you a job some how!
With EMB and Bombardier your options are limited!
Lets compare British airways and GF destinations!
Did you say back in the days? No turboprops anymore neither concorde?
QR EY EK will never get regional jets! They will stick to 320 and have a low cost airline call fly dubai even that is B737. That is the smallest!
Flying back to back is acceptable on 320 and 737 but not a regional jet.
C and E are good for CPL holders. Regional jets are replacement for the turbo props.
Even Asia and middle east are recruiting CPL holders directly on 737 and A320.
If GF is doing so well then how come so many pilots left to join Qatar? QR being the dictatorship type airline!
