You do what you need to do.Never think twice about it. If you aren't ready,or your FO isn't ready, or the FAs aren't ready, you make the time available to be ready.

Will you be based locally? I hope so, it seems to be a junior base for reasons.

Congratulations!

I’m in the hunt for a job myself, due to the sudden cessation of my airline.

Good luck.  Hopefully you got your app(s) in some (or all) of the windows that were opened for NK folks and some offers come from it!

I can't imagine these days you will have any problem consolidating.  I'm going to miss my bro's on team 737, come October.  But I'm excited about learning how to speak Dreamliner.
