hehehehe,, no.. to close to upgrade here and already have almost a couple years seniority.. i was like you however. a friend of mine mentioned this and i didn't believe it either till i went to your website.. nice pilot orientation slide show.. especially the part where they are trying to sell how comfortable the rj200 is.. "reclining leather seats"... lol, made me laugh.. people always ask at the counter if the plane has a first class section for upgrade, i tell them that the entire plane is first class,, all of the seats are leather, and everyone gets an aisle or a window!!!

i wasn't saying that in a demeaning way.. pinnacle used to be 3000hrs and is now 2500 with certain stipulations.. just mentioned it because i thought they were higher.

you are preaching to the choir man. people knock the lower time captains, but if 2000hrs of their flight time is in the plane they will be in charge of, i think they are in a far better position than the guy off the street.. or like the guys at almost every airline that have turboprops and jets..a friend of mine at skywest was flying the bro, and upgraded into the rj.. that is some crazy shiz if you ask me.
