I'm a couple hundred hours in now.  Check airman I've been flying a lot with lately saying I'm crushing it.  Apparently I'm being fast tracked on flight time to expedite upgrade.

320 hours down! Another 60 hours until I drop apps to the legacies.  Plan is to hire an application review agency and interview prep.

My old friend, this hasn't been an easy road.  Salary is 1/4 what I made as an overseas CTR and I'm actually gone more.... but I'm so much happier.  I look forward to going to work each day.  My Captains laugh at me for sticking my nose on the window the whole flight.

"Oh wow! There's Key West"
"Theres Marathon!"
"Havana!"
"A shooting star!"

I'm a bit overwhelmed at the compliments I get from my Captains

"Dude, you're crushing it."

And the sim instructors who stay at the same hotel we are at in Miami.  One of them, a former Delta Professional Services instructor,  told me I'll make a great check airman or chief pilot because of the leadership he sees me demonstrating outside of the cockpit.

Get the apps in and keep them updated. Its getting a bit more competitive now. Not to dissuade you, but just to say you need to run a right ship. Prepped apps and interview prep.

Yeah. I did application review and interview prep previously for another job I decided not to take, but I will definitely be getting their help in preparing for my legacy applications.

Hit your hour mark yet?

Are you attending any of the upcoming job fairs (PAPA / OBAP / RTAG)?

Still 25 hours shy.  I'll get it this trip.  I've signed up to volunteer at an OBAP-led ACE event and signed up to volunteer for RTAG.

It's been a great experience for me thus far, though compensation is a bit on the low side.  I'll say this... Flying Miami is like flying for a completely different airline than flying CVG.
