most of the guys in my class and the class behind me were awarded CVG within one month. And as of the third we were awarded the 700 due to a vacancy bid. Not sure when training will start for the 700 but it should be around the middle of summer. I'm not too worried about upgrade time, I want a couple years of flying the CRJ under my belt before I get upgraded.

I will say this though, get in now while the getting in is good. It is not only how far you are away from the top but most importanly how far you are away from the bottom.
