Do you guys know what the upgrade time is currently? A couple people were saying 3 1/2 years and others were saying 5 years.
Thanks for responding.
The leases begin expiring somewhere around 2015-2017 I believe. What US Air will do with us then is anyones' guess. Being owned by a major airline has it's disadvantages. For example; when they need to cut back regional feed, guess where it comes from. Contract carriers have minimum flying guaranteed. As far as upgrades; most junior CA hired May 2007. Today they opened a bid for a class of 2 (not a typo) upgrades. Safe to say it's slowing down.
