CONS: No turbine currently, on call, fewer days off, Smaller Jets
2. Apply to some regional airline

CONS: reserve, poor pay, frustration, furlough, ERJ/CRJ, flying a
90+ seat plane for 50 seat pay. FO for 4+ years
3. Devote 6 to 8 months of full time studying and convert my certificates to JAA as well as a 737-300 Type and by this time next year being an FO on a 737 in Europe.
PROS: good money, job security, turbine PIC within 3yrs on 737 ability to fly heavy equipment.
