Sorry for the upgrade inspired logjam but as I predicted back in March,

Eight Captain upgrades a month? Do the math.

throttling back captain upgrades because we were so short of FOs was going to inevitably lead to a captain shortage which is sort of where we are now. Now the good news is that that means shorter upgrade times, but the bad news is that there is a systemwide shortage of E-175 sims and the captain upgrade sims are increasing the difficulty of clearing the training backlog for new hires.

But it appears CJOs are starting to again go out. I would SUGGEST that those who haven't heard from recruiting in a while give them a phone call with a gentle nudge to let them know you are stil interested and an update on any flying hours you've logged since your initial app.

Good luck all.
