Thank you all.
One more question? To upgrade to Captain is about 3 years. Is that correct ?
I think the first part of your questions is the best kept secret in the WO. Yes, there is some sort of a contract time. I think it is 2 years, and is prorated after 1 year. During training, I would not consider any bonus money to be your money. Our training pay is pretty good (full pay at 75 hours a month, plus 24 hour per diem, single occupancy hotels paid for, etc..).
2 years goes by very quickly. Plus, if you do leave early, you are likely going to a much better paying job, and can pay it back if they actually try to collect it from you.
Upgrade time for those hired in the next couple of months will likely be 2 years. Captain attrition is pretty high right now, plus the flow. We are still adding more airplanes, which will help that as well.
If we are adding 2 airplanes a month, that means 10 additional captains a month. We are flowing 5 (increasing to 8) a month, which will mean that many more upgrades. Plus outside attrition. We will likely be upgrading 20+ a month.
