With the total number of airframes essentially staying the same, the time it takes to be awarded an upgrade should more or less stay the same I would think...?
I’m coming in with the required flight time to upgrade. A significant part of the equation when deciding if I could do the regional thing was with the expectation that upgrade would happen in the first year. I still think that is likely IF I’m willing to endure what it will be like in a diminishing fleet.
I’m probably wasting my time trying to predict any of this, lol. In the meantime hopefully a lot of those guys that put in the years and hard work that want to go to Alaska get their opportunity with this pathway program.
