Quickest Upgrade

[Caboclo]

Hey Folks, which regional is running the fastest upgrade times right now? I have 4000 TT with 1000 turbine PIC but no jet time. I know about PNCL's upgrade after 100 hours, but I'd rather not descend that far into the abyss. Among the better companies, it seems like Mesaba and Compass are the ones currently growing rapidly. Anyone know of any other good deals out there?

I heard Eagle has the quickest upgrades today...

Avoid

AVOID TSA AND GOJETS!!!!! Even if they offer Street Captain!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hear RAH is fairly quick, but I still think you'd still be measuring that in increments of years.

Horizon may be at 5 years by early next year. And, if you get the 400, they teach you some cool stuff about how to land with one in the nacelle.

 

[Caboclo]

Yeah, thanks Flyer, even I know better than that! I'd take TSA over Eagle.

Compass, year or so

Great Lakes would send you to upgrade fresh out of ground school, but given your previous comment about the abyss, I assume that doesn't hold your interest.

I believe Mesaba will continue to hire street captians. Not a bad gig.

Compass is still hiring street captains i believe, so is Mesaba. RAH is at about 2 years and should be around 1 1/2 years soon.

What is happening to cause 1 1/2 years "soon?"

Todays street captain can be tomorows furlough.

Compass is no longer hiring street captains. I think the current estimate is around 1 yr in the FO seat. Mesaba is hiring street captains into the Saab.

I would really recommend Mesaba. Good company, and as long as the sh*** doesnt hit the fan any time soon it should be a great place to work and get some PIC experience.
