I have been hearing 4-5 years for captain on the bro and 5-6 years for captain on the jet, so if a bro captain upgraded after 5 years, and was captain for 3 years after, could he then bid for a captain position on the jet, and would a 3 year bro caption upgrading to the jet, start at 3rd year jet captain pay?
A bro captain can bid any seat he wants. Holding it will be dependent on company need and the pilots flexibility regarding the domicile award. You retain your longevity regarding pay no matter what seat you go to. Your example: You get 8-9 jet captain pay.
Many guys do that.
