Alright, I guess I could take another approach on this MAPD thing. Here are some more HARD facts. Well start with the 1900 because it has the lowest mins for upgrade. By mins i mean the TT and multi you need to even hold the position, forget about your global senority. If you do get in (and you like to believe that everyone likes you) and are able to graduate the program, pass the interview, pass training, and not blunder your pc (pretty hard to do) you will be sitting in that 1900 FO seat for a long time trying to build the time to upgrade due to your hours. Note all those previous items are a big gamble for a 45k investment that WILL NOT yield another airline job. This means that the same guys your in training with will be upgrading and likely flying as your captain at least months but likely more than a year before you will.
Now that said if you are one of the dreaming 300 hour jet guys, the last time I checked you have to hit ICAO mins to hold a captain position on one of the RJ's. Remember to this is the absolute minimum time you can upgrade with regardless of your senority.
Think about this guys... Why do you think Mesa actually hires street captains on occasions. Its thanks to all those PFT's out there that have been working there long enough to upgrade but just don't qualify due to their hours. Leaving a shortage of Qualified captains.
I know its a long shot, but you guys just don't listen that well.
