On the topic of upgrades at various regionals I've been doing a lot of research but going around in circles. I'm getting back into flying after an absence so I have plenty of part 121 time and looking at a regional with good 1st year pay and a chance to upgrade fast (since I already have the time).
TSA is looking good with the CQFO so i'll make 50k as a FO first year and upgrade is 1-1.5years from what I see.
I have ruled out MESA due to 1 year contract and aprox 20-22K first year pay although upgrade could be 1-1.5years.
PSA?? i'm lost. Some people are saying you sit reserve for 6 months and others saying upgrade in 1 year?? whats the go?

These regionals seem to be hit or miss. today what is good is bad tomorrow and what is bad today good tomorrow. Go figure

thanks,
any thoughts..
