Redsnail - it is nice to hear from a current Captain, in my previous airline I got along with everyone really well and was liked by the majority of the Captains.
The reason I didn't get kept on was because there where more first officer's waiting to start the LT and they had no vacancy for me.
There where regular first officers at the airline but again they had 3 or 4 thousand hours.
I was told that buying 500 hours is just the way things are done now & you will get a job, but it's not the case.
I just want to add that I did a good job for the airline and got positive feedback from LFI's during my time there, I am a competent operator of the B737NG.
what would you recommend be the best way forward for me now? given that I don't have any money left.
Also Redsnail, if you don't mind would be able to post your journey to the Left seat? nothing too personal, just a time line of events??
