No gaurantees in this industry! As far as Captain upgrades at F9----> right now it is 3-4 years, tomorrow it could be 20 years.
On the same token at my previous carrier (legacy), we where told we could expect to be CAPTAINs within 4 years of our hiring (2000) and that we could expect a PENSION worth a couple million bucks. Do you see how that panned out?
Many would be rightfully PISSED off but I can tell you as long as you know you have no guarantees in this industry and you do have a back up plan, you should be fine.
Starckr is right too. F9 is a great place to be and I hope I can one day retire from here. I wont sell you, this is my 6th airline and by far the BEST place Ihave been. Sure, we do have our problems and WALL STREET hates us, but you know what, I think this "little" Airline is diligent and on path to hopefully a BRIGHT future.
