well Upgrade time is when you upgrade, what I mean by that is you can "project" it but it doesnt do any good, I flew with a CA that upgraded last month, he had been there for 2 1/2 years. thats great especialyl at such a good airlines, Colgan guys upgraded maybe sooner, although there upgrade times has gone way up, but Colgan vs Exjet no comparison XJT blows them out of the water, pay, QOL, Equiptment, Routes, Per diem, etc. Don't go somehwere for upgrade, go for QOL, I understand you don't want to be at aregional forever, but there is goingtop be some serious movement in the next few years.
