Upgrade time is 4500 total 1000 MEL, They give a 1 for 1 credit of company time upto 1,000 hours. So if you have 2500 hours now and then fly 1000 hours with the company, giving you 3500 total + 1000 company credit you meet your 4500 total for upgrade.

As far as quick upgrade, I would say, things are still moving and natural progression to upgrade will take place quicker at gojet then any other RJ operator. As for the RDU flying, The positions to fill that have already been hired, your about 3 months behind the curve. Their are rumors of more flying, I have nothing solid.

Hope this aswers you question
