If you're a November hire, you might upgrade by 2016 but I wouldn't count on it. I think the last of the captains for next year have already started training. I think November hires are looking at early/mid 2016, which is still pretty stellar for a regional given the current circumstances. YMMV.
Guys, there are 300+ upgrades planned. Like I said I counted 330 on the training plan I saw a couple weeks ago. And people keep assuming all the FOs on property will have the 1000, which they won't.
