3. Ugrade RIGHT NOW is two years, your flight time has no bearing on when you will go to upgrade. It's the airlines, everything is seniority driven.
On a side note, in regards to that. I am upgrading this month and couldnt hold charter FO.
Lots of movement going on now and you should get whatever base you want quick. Good luck and with your qualifications i am sure you will pass your interview plan to start quick.
