I'm also American, 36 with 4800 Total time and 1100 hr. PIC in ATR 72/42. I also would like to know if it's still possible to go direct entry FO in cargo. How long would the upgrade be to Captian anywhere? Do I understand correctly that after about three years as FO cargo, I would then go to Hong Kong and fly as FO PAX? Also do I have enough time to go direct entry FO in the first place, and would I be bumping SOs below me senority wize? Doesn't sound fair to the SOs. I've read many posts but never a real straight answer. Thanks
