Upgrade time at NWA

[flighthawg]

What is the average upgrade time currently? Also if you go SO on 747, what is normal progression and timeline?
Thanks

You cant accurately, even if that was possible in this industry, put a time frame on upgrade times for newhires. There was a gap in hiring for 6 years. It also depends on merger or no merger, etc. 747 SO slots are pretty much given to who ever wants it and people are going straight to block holders right now. hope that helps.

Thanks for the info.

According to the threads here, if the NWA negotiators get their way, new hires will upgrade on the 777 in two years or less.

As a newbie, I got a block line with 17 on and 13 off. However, I was able to trade it to 16 on and 14 off. Also, being a commuter, I traded for 16 days' straight duty. Trips are not bad...includes some 3 day Shanghai trips, several 36 hr overnight Tokyo trips, and some domestic (LAX). You'll fly with a great bunch of folks and have a blast on the road!
