pinnacle DoH for captains is June 14th of 2007
Junior MSP Saab Capt is now spring of 01 hire. Please keep in mind that the Year 2000 and onward ranks have really emptied out.
Distance (in number of pilots) to this Junior Saab Capt:
2003 hires: 16 pilots away.
2004 hires: 23 pilots away.
2005 hires: 78 pilots away.
2006 hires: There aren't any!
2007 hires: 115 pilots away.
MSP is usually the most senior base.
Are there still some 5, 6, 7 yr FO's who bypased capt? Yup.
Nonetheless, regardless of what the still embittered might say, the upgrade times at Mesaba, they are a-changin' for the better.
While a one yr. upgrade for new hires might be a bit overly optimistic, it is not completely out of the question. Those on property now can probably estimate an upgrade from half a year to two or so years.
Needless to say a lot depends on current Capts and senior FO's leaving to greener pastures. The ultra-senior guys aren't ever going anywhere until age 65.
Even without attrition, though, the upgrades will still come down to a year or two over the near future.
The Twins have always owned the Braves. Their crappy base running, Kirby and Charlie Leibrandt lost them the World Series in 1991.
And Gene Larkin, don't forget him.
