I will be able to upgrade to Captain in less than a year. You can't do that at too many airlines. I'll also make considerably more money than I do at Ram Air once I upgrade.
I'll also be able to hold CLT as a base after about six months or so. That is a huge plus for me.
Once I start building up the turbine PIC time, I should become marketable for a good corporate job out there. Flying for a corporate or fractional company is my long term goal.
Overall, I am very pleased and look forward to starting class on June 30th. |
You are good to go; I was thinking of applying because of the upgrade time. It's a QOL decision. The airline has had its years, both good and bad. Best of luck and remember you make your own decisions.
