Last meeting of the remedy phase has been completed. They tell us 30-60 days for both sides to provide legal briefs on how much to pay, and then 90 days for the arbitrator to render a decision. So I guess we can ask again in 5 more months.

Five months? That's optimistic.

I said 'ask again' though. :laugh:

That means that's the next time we can expect a post titled "Arbitration Update"

Upgrade time is fluent, I expect it to drop to about 2.5 years by beginning of next year. VERY VERY strong rumors of a LGA base opening up... as a new hire you MIGHT have to deal with that. PHL has daily BOS overnights, weekdays usually 15 hours staged, weekends 28 hours. We stay at the doubletree near UMASS. Hired today I would guess you could hold a line rather quickly. Upgrades of 10-15 a month indefinatly, to keep up with attrition. Attrition dropped off in July, but it seems picked up again in August. Not a bad place to work if you live in domicile or on the east coast... if you got hired today I would expect a 2-4 year upgrade. Before you'all jump on me about the 2 part, with all the majors hiring and all the pissed off guys out there, you all know attrition will continue. I should upgrade around January time fram... as soon as I get my 1000 and a job offer I am out as I am sure all you are too. 80%+ of the captains that I fly with are looking to get out, and so am I. Not a bad place, but no longer a career place.

If I would have stayed I would have upgraded just over 3 years. The guys in the class ahead of me upgraded at about 2.5.

LGA domicile won't happen until the FAA get their pissing match over RJs and "average seats per departure" figure sorted out. Opening a base and then having to close it (their fear about RDU) would cost buku bucks.

Besides I kinda like turning through LGA...as long as its before about noon and Dunkin Donuts has fresh coffee!

Varies, but recently PHL with one class going to ORF. Probably hold where you want in less than 2 months.
