If you're low time, and not where you want to be, congrats.. here's your stagnation.
If you're high-time and not where you want to be, you will be competing with others for far more limited slots.
If you're at the job you want, high, competitive mins like that means your seniority increases slower..
I'm not sure how that's good news for anyone. But hey I guess the old timers can go back to taking joy in the rest of us having to claw our way up again while those just ahead of us by 1 or 2 years got to smile and get handed a cjo at 1000 hrs.

Holy entitlement, batman. The last post was happy for a guy who made a tough decision with +/- 10k hours. That means another EWR CA spot, which trickles down to a few more vacancies at NK. That is one step closer to recalling a furloughed pilot who had to go [back] to a regional. So sorry you won't get your way.

It sure seems like it with aircraft delivery issues and many ULCC/LCC pilots now looking to leave/have left/will leave. Retirements are still a real thing still but now youll see many more applicants in the stacks that are very well qualified.

Not sure that I'd call it good news, but your post certainly makes me see why it's welcome news to some. You're taking a snapshot of 24 months, give or take, and acting like that is the norm. Guess what? The majority of the members here went through what you're going through - many WAY more difficult. So yeah, you won't find much sympathy while whining that you weren't a miracle baby. Read the room, know your audience, etc. Possibly those that have been in the left seat as long as the miracle babies have been alive look forward to flying with guys with a smidge of experience again🤷♂️
