Sorry to tell you this, but upgrade is definitely more than one year, especially now since NWA might be pulling some of the Jets. As for the training--It is ABSOLUTELY SHAMEFUL! I went through there training in 04, my instructor never flew the airplane or read the manuals. He could not answer 90% of the questions we asked him. The manuals were full of erroneous information. Once I got on-line, I quickly realized I was working with a bunch of hick Captains (Yes, I was based in MEM). To top everything off---the pay sucked
