I spoke to the recruiter at Trans States and he said upgrade times was 14-16 months but not sure if that's true!!
Don't take the TransStates interview. Pilots hate that place, we get disparaging posts from the pilots all day long. Nearly half the new guys wash out of training because they are too cheap to pay for extra sim if you aren't getting the point fast enough. Republic gets a lot of negative press, Eagle is much better, better still Skywest. The latter is not hiring right now. Maybe also try Expressjet.
