Making the jump?

Everyone's situation is different, and a LOT depends on where a pilot is willing to live. My advice is to avoid commuting to work.

At my legacy airline, it took only 6 months to hold narrow body FO in my domicile. i could hold NB Captain if I were willing to commute, but it is too big a hassle for me.

the bottom line - if you are considering making the career switch, don't wait. Seniority is everything in the airline industry.
