As for FL AB Jr CA DOH's, be aware several bases were converted from the 80 to the AB, so jr 80 CA's have been converted to AB CA in their respective bases. Don't expect any future AB upgrades to go junior, except for outliers like the PIT base. Hopefully, if there's a significant influx of AB soon, the situation may change, but realize there are senior 80 CA & FO's that are coming off seat-locks!
So what is a reasonable time for upgrade? Currently the jr AB guy is about 18 months on property. Chief pilots suggested 2-3 years is reasonable, is this more realistic? What is causing the quick upgrade? Movement from the top based on attrition? New aircraft? Both?
