Thanks!
I'll take a WAG and say 4yrs for JFK/BOS 190 CA and 5 years for JFK 320 CA.
We will probably have a contract in the next several years, which will cause many senior FOs to jump for the upgrade due to better pay rates and work rules. Right now the junior CA spots run around 72-75% down the seniority list, which is abnormally low in my opinion. In the future we won't have so many FOs who bypass the upgrade in order to maintain a decent schedule.
