I am an ATR FO for eagle looking at a 6 year upgrade in a turboprop and a 8-9 year upgrade for jet. My ultimate goal is a major airline (CAL, SWA, Fed-Ex etc.) I am thinking of jumping to a B-1900 121 operator for a 6 month upgrade and a major pay cut. Other regionals look to be a risky shot with their business relying on US Air, United, and Delta. How do the majors value 1900 time? There is no FMS, A/P, etc. however it'll be all handflying in mountainous terrain with some of the most challenging wx. It looks to be fun/challenging flying for low pay.
I hate to be one of those who is willing to bend over for a better shot at a major, but I don't want to be stuck in the right seat as I watch my peers move on. Any advice is appreciated, thanks.
