Hope eveyone is hanging in there,
Wondering if I could get some advice on my current situation? I've been an FO at my current job for about 3.5 years. I am flying a jet for a regional airline. I was getting ready to upgrade soon. Currently at my regional airline, we are thinking of furloughing due to the current industry situation with AGE 65, gas prices, etc. Now, it looks as if I may have to sit another 3 years or so in the right seat. I really want to leave my current airline and go somwhere else. I am single, no kids, etc. I've tried Cathay and Emirates, didn't work out. Can someone tell me where I can go? I am looking at overseas opportunities, corporate/fractional or even other regionals. I am really interested in international flying. Also, are there any regionals or coporate outfits in which I could upgrade to captain in 1-2 years? Finally, I am flying a jet. If I found a turboprop job in which I could quickly upgrade to captain, would this look bad on my career and at places I would interview at in the future, i.e. "why did you leave a jet job to go backwards and fly a turboprop?"
Look forward to your replies.
