Average sectors per day East Coast vs West Coast bases?
Update on the new Proline Fusion King Airs? When arriving and confirmed Gama?
Upgrade depends on KA experience from what I've seen. Quickest I've heard of is two months on line as an FO.
I have heard ( but do not KNOW) that the requirement to go to the jet is at least 3500 TT. The trends seems to be becoming a standards CA in the KA first.
2 to 3 sectors a day West Coast. I don't know East coast from experience but have heard that they are FAR busier.
RUMINT on the new KAs is that they will start arriving (Fusion equipped) at the beginning of next year. GAMA, no one else. Scuttlebutt is that not all of them will go to the U.S.
