J-41 or DO328 jet?????

Take the first class available. Although some circumstances preclude this (low time, seat lock), the only way to upgrade in any type of airplane before someone else is by holding a higher seniority number. For example, pilots upgrade from J-41 FO to CRJ or FRJ captain depending on seniority. There is NO requirement to have any prior experience in type to upgrade.

Anyway, things are really moving on the J-41 side as pilots leave the FO seat. I was hired as 125 in the seat. Then moved up to 95 my second month online. For my fourth month online I'm sitting at 73 out of 212; now in the upper third.

If you don't like the airplane you're hired into, transition after a year. Only seniority will give you that option, and-god forbid-furlough protection.

Tailwinds...

Re: Upgrade

The "box" that moved was one of the IAC's, which caused all of the DU's to freeze. The only very minor points to correct are that the IAC's are behind the pilots not in the back and that the standby instruments still operated.

That makes ALOT more sense. Those with little knowledge can be more damaging than those without any knowledge. Also something to mention, there are only 2 IAC's on the 328J. Well, at least on ACA 328's. Dont know if Skyway had another retro-fitted.
