As far as Upgrade. You are 150hrs away fom 1000 121.. you could get CRJ Captain in ATL or DTW right away. Basically end of each mont when the bids are awarded tey go into newhire classes and ask if you have the time.. (reason they ask is your not in the computer system yet for the bid)
And as far as W.I.C program we were on it the first 3 years of my Regional life.. but that was 20 years ago..
