How much longer? A year, 18 months?
And a lot of 99 runs don't get 50 hour per month. Which is why I prefer to talk hours and not months. I can't tell someone I have never met that he will be able to move from where he is when he gets here to transitioning into a metro (or any other plane) in a certain amount of time. I have seen that done in the past and then the pilot himself doesn't have the skills to go that quick and then it becomes our fault that he doesn't upgrade. I'm not saying this pilot doesn't but I just don't know.
You gripe about being sold a bill of goods. I try not to do that. I will always try to give the most accurate information that I have, based on my experience both as a pilot and with the time I have spent at AMF. If that doesn't agree with your take, please don't imply that I'm a liar.
