I've been here for 1.5 yrs as a jet FO and I'm upgrading to the J41 in the next class. Obviously, I would prefer to go to the jt as a capt but I think it will be a much longer wait. The J41 is actually going VERY junior right now (me) because of all the Jet FOs who don't want to fly a prop(or something like that). I think that this situation will reverse itself pretty soon when the senior jet FOs get tired of waiting for the 2 or 3 spots going to the jet each month. Of course, the flood gates could open soon and I'll be stuck for a year on the 41. In any case, it's long been my plan to take the first upgrade offered so here we are. See you guys in class next month!!

Way to go!

Congratulations!!! I have other reasons for not upgrading right now. It's not because I'm too good to fly the 41. I think it would be cool. Besides, you know what I was flying before I came here!!! The 41 is king compared to a Baron! Anyhow, it's still tempting and I'm seriously considering changing my mind. Good luck in training. We'll have to get together and down a couple.

Jeff,
I know a couple other guys who are changing their bids or at least considering it. It seems like they will have to upgrade more guys in the jet but so far they are saying "2 or 3" per month. Who knows...
Definitely give me a call. Hey, do we still stay at the same cr@ppy hotel in STL?

yep

Holliday Inn, baby!! I don't know if they have a deal worked out to get you to Simuflite(I think thats it) for 41 sim training. I'll try to remember to ask Joe. He is in 41 upgrade right now. I do know they go to the training center for ground school and you can check out the latest and greatest hot-azz FA's in training. And don't forget to stop by the Blowjets offices (just down the hall from the TSA offices!!!!) and give 'em a nice warm welcome!

The Aug bidpack states that they are upgrading 10 for next month, hiring another 14

5 upgrades by my count (FOs). I guess they consider J41 captains going to the jet upgrades.

5 jet + 5 backfill J41 = 10 upgrades?
