Wrong. I don't have one. You'll need it before you upgrade of course.

So, on the bright side....you'll have about 7-10 years to get that done!

You must be talking about American Eagle, right? Upgrade time is not 7-10 years at ASA.

Attention fellow board-members:

A lot of people confuse historic/recent past upgrade times with future upgrade times.

Sure, there may have been about six captains at ASA who upgraded in 2 years during the pre-9/11 squeeze for pilots.

That was 5 years ago.

More recently, the upgrades have been about 5-6 years minimum....with those captains on reserve for up to 3 years.

And the future is bleak....even longer upgrade times predicted.

With the squeeze from even lower-cost carriers, the whipsaw from Skywest, and the predicted fleet-cut, upgrade times for today's newhires will likely be 7-10 years.

With that in mind, realize by the time you upgrade, the FARs will be amended to include:

1) Age 65 or 68 retirement

2) Relaxed medical requirements, since a fatal heart attack is no longer the catastrophe it once was now that planes can land themselves or be easily piloted by a 200-hr new-hire FO.

3) Conversely, assuming it's the new-hire FO that has the heart attack, that guy will be BELOW YOU on the seniority list, so gone are the days when you automatically move up the list when a pilot croaks.

4) A likely amendment of Minimum Equipment Lists (MELs) to allow single-pilot operation for up to 72 hrs, as long as the autopilot is used.

5) Extension of rest requirements from 16 to 36 hrs continuous duty, meaning that "naps" (continuous overnight duty trips) will be both front- and back-loaded with 6-leg daylines, thereby reducing the number of crews-per-airframe by half.

6) Increase from 19 to 79 the number of seats allowing a waiver of the requirement for a flight attendant. Thus, as part of basic indoc, new hire FOs will learn how to brew coffee and make omelettes for the first class pax on the CRJ 705.

So come on in! The water's fine!

Geeze Louise! You invest 7-10 years with ASA, then finially make capt?!?!
But think about it, after you give them nearly a decade of your life, you're still just a regional captain.

There's very few regionals left that have descent upgrade times. 5 years minimum seems to be the norm now for upgrade times in the industry.

 

[OUT]

What's the point of going to the regionals to make crap wages as an F/O with upgrade MANY YEARS away and then little prospect to get on with an airline like we were all hoping to get on with when we started our dream of being an airline pilot?

 

["GO AROUND"]

It was running 6 mnths to a year back in 2000. Took me a year on the 120.

Junior captains now are 3 to 4 years seniority with the company.

All this is dependent on growth and noone knows for sure if thats going to continue or not.

Time to ease up on the crack pipe Phony.

 

[FmrFreightDog]

Put the pipe down Phoney.

Agreed. CURRENT upgrade time at ASA is under 5 years.
