upgrade times

[Ponchus pilot]

At Coex expect perhaps a 5 year upgrade on the low side, more like 10 if there is no enhanced flow-through negotiated with CAL.

dont drink the Koolaid about the enhanced flow through. the only thing it enhances is the top 1/4 of the lists careers, while screwing the rest. I would rather be an FO for 10 years and know that i have a job vs upgrading fast and loosing the seat to a flushback or getting furloughed. It has happened twice already. History has an interesting way of repeating itself. We should have the option to opt out and keep our seniority compare to people who leave.

Pilotyip! come on now... Ive been here 20 plus months and I was the "alternate" for the last upgrade. With no foreseeable upgrades in the next several months AT LEAST, how do you get 18 months? Perhaps seeing all the folks leaving you're thinking of what it might be like here in 6 months or so.
The rest of your numbers i can't argue with....

oh and hey! wheres my left seat letter?

One number

One number above you was awarded Capt at 18 months.
No one can predict the future other than death and taxes, but you will probably get a chance to bid either DC-9 F/O or DA-20 Capt in the next couple months.
