Upgrade requirements/time to upgrade

[StaySeated]

hey sf3boy,

did you have a busy saturday..."first home depot, then maybe bed bath and beyond"...

Yeah, it turned out to be a nice little Saturday. We took the Red Dragon up to STL and back a couple of times and then had enough time left to do a BNA turn.

It is very hard to determine the upgrade time at Corpex.

The most jr. CA is a 4/01 hire, and the most jr. FO is 8/01. That is only 4 months apart! Just goes to show that timing (even four months) is everything!

I suspect that if you got hired on here next month (we are accepting resumes now) the worst case scenario would be around two years, based on upgrades due to attrition only and no growth. No growth is a real possibility due to the fact that the J32 is difficult to market as a code-share aircraft.

However, if we are growing again, you could upgrade into the left seat as soon as you have your ATP, 1500TT and 300 with the company. This is also a possibility if we are able to figure out a way to get back into RDU, where our biggest base was before 9-11-01.
