in re upgrade times at Gemini. WHile it is true that the junior most captain at Gemini has been here since 2001 implying a 6 year upgrade you cannot extrapolate this forward to say that were you hired "today" you "might" make captain in 6 years. Too many variables:
the last 6 years has not been "typical" (whatever that means) the point being that the next 6 years WILL be different. A severe downturn after 9/11 inhibited everones's progression. Itr's a crapshoot, the company is not large enough to say with any precision when/if you might upgrade; if, if, if, ya just plane don't know.
People are quitting as opportunities open up elsewhere, the company "may" (not) find new airplanes. But wjerever you go the future of airfreight looks good, pick one that seems to be in business for the long haul and you will upgrade in less than 6 years.
