My reasoning is someone eluded to the fact that 2015 was a massive hiring wave. Therefore after this pilot upgrades does the upgrade time trend up or remain the same, at the 2ish year mark?
Thanks everyone for the help; former RJ captain that is sitting on the streets (long story short, don't leave a good company for a crappy company thinking that bigger airplane that is painted in the same color that matches your paycheck is a step up) thinking that PSA is the way to go because of the SAP. I just don't want to be right seat loner then necessary if I don't choose to be. Also I'm hedging my bets with the flow if needed. Speaking of flow, how does it stack up? How many guys are leaving a month outside of the flow? Also is there any opportunities for FO's to enter into the training department?
Its all speculation their currently upgrading around the 550 seniority number with 1200 on the list now. Theres been plenty of time for the large majorities of the FOs to build their 1000 SIC so I do not foresee any large amount of bypassing in the future. Alot of FOs have their time now and are waiting to upgrade. Question is now how long will it take to upgrade behind 600 or so other FOs at PSA.
Theyve been upgrading at about 8-12 or so the last few months, expecting a large upgrade class coming but Id personally expect to see the upgrade time go upwards of 2.5-3 years.
