1) I know this is a touchy subject... but what are yall's thoughts on upgrade time with base in IAH? I'm considering Skywest or Envoy to upgrade quicker than the current 9 year upgrades (at the sacrifice of commuting)
2) a family friend is a 15-yr FO at Delta and lives on base so he can pick up last minute trips that are 1/5, double, and even sometimes triple pay.... is that common at the regionals? or would I already be flying at the legal limit (because this could significantly change one's take home pay)
thanks yall!
The current upgrade time is over 9 years at XJT.
Most junior FO line holder in IAH was March 2014. Every one under that is still on RSV in IAH
The most Jr CA in IAH was hired in April 2007.
Company is still parking a couple of planes a month and no upgrades have been announced in months.
