I've been on line since the Fall, I don't know when I'll upgrade since they just cancelled the last class. To be honest I'm not in a rush though, Id be in the homeless base for quite awhile, but in theory I could probably upgrade before the year is out.
Believe or not, we still have a 6" stack of resumes, with World and Evergreen gone there's still some high time guys out there, many of whom live Florida. I suspect they will run through these guys and be down to mostly regional FOs and a few CAs by the end of the year.
All that said, I'm not overly bitter and the company hasn't hosed me real bad yet. But the potential is there and it scares the crap out of me, this airline has taught me that QOL is equally as important as pay.
You're a corporate G550 CA? Sounds like a better gig than an MD80 FO to me!
