Upgrade requirements

[mrpilotguy]

What are upgrade requirements at SkyWest/Express Jet?

Is it a TT type thing, or time at the company, or on specific aircraft, etc?

If I got hired with a good bit of TPIC on heavy mil. aircraft, does that experience count for anything?

Thanks

Simple answer: Date of Hire

You are at least close to ATP mins if you are getting hired, so you are part way there. If it gets to where upgrade is so fast that you have to worry about company mins, they will probably bend them.

Got to have seniority to hold CA obviously, in addition a min of 3000TT and 500 hrs with the company I believe at XJT.

You have to have at least 8 years of seniority and be on the verge of going ballistic

Negative! If you can hold captain on a bid, you can upgrade. Total time or time with the company does not matter.

Well, maybe on the ERJ side, but not the CRJ side. Those lots he posted are the contractual limits for the CRJ side.

Ok, I stand corrected. Just on the ERJ side. There was only the requirement that you had an ATP written and 23 years old by the time you were in upgrade class.

No such thing as upgrade. You should be happy to have a job. Let alone sanity.

I've got the ATP already...now to put it to good use.

It took me 6yrs to hold it on the ERJ.
