CAL Pilot Progression

[RIOtoPilot]

I know that there are no hard and fast rules, but can anyone give a ballpark answer on a F.O.'s progression at CAL? Generally, how many years does it take to move up in aircraft from SN (737-300/500/700) to LN (757, 737-800/900) to Wide?

right now they are hiring mostly onto the 737. They are also hiring directly onto the 757/767. If you get hired onto the 737, you will be able to bid off of it almost immediatly onto the 757/767 if you so choose. 777 takes a bit longer, 1 to 2 years.
