Current most JR upgrade I saw was less than 1 year (if you have prior 121). But most cases you are eligible or SHOULD be able to bid and hold a reserve line somewhere around the 18 month mark. I was able to bid and could hold upgrade at 18 months but I let it pass because I love my QOL and can't fathom sitting on reserve again. Lol (whatever little reserve we DO have) :P
The current captains are more junior than 24 months. I am pointing to the March award and its timeframe for upgrades.
In a few months, what FO is really going to care if a junior CA was awarded at 23 or 24 months, if the upgrades disappear or slow down significantly?
The rumors out there of losing ships are killing morale. FO’s are looking to jump ship to Republic for IAH - even though Republic’s upgrades in IAH are 5+ years. The 5+ years made the decision for me and I am not even considering Republic any longer. I will sink or swim here until I have my 1,000 121 time.
