upgrade time?

[ubpilot]

Now of days, how long is the upgrade time for: CHQ, Express Jet, and Comair??????

 

[It will roll]

CHQ is prob. around 1 year, XJT is running around 16-17 month for ERJ upgrade, and Comair most junior CA was just awarded and she was a 3/06 hire on the RJ. But you never know, upgrade changes at the drop of a nun's panties.....

I just about took the bait--hook, line, and sinker.

I heard the upgrade time at American Eagle is like 7 years. Why is it so long, and what makes pilots want to stick around there?

Because they get free ice cream, hair spray, and KY gel.

Colgan is like 2 years now.... No joke.

Current upgrade classes at XJT have guys about 27 months. (just over 2 years if you suck at math...)

Because Eagle has a flowthrough program with American, when 2001 hit and many of the flowthroughs were furloughed they came to Eagle and took a lot of CA's jobs and displaced those CAs to FO's. Untill this month American has not called back any furloughs. Jan is starting their first requalification class and upgrade times here are expected to drop to 3-4 years. Besides that Eagle is a very stable company to work for, great equipment and good bases. Eagle is owned by American so no need to worry about losing our contract with our mainline!
