I’ve been here for just over 2 years. I was hoping to upgrade under 3 years but as it looks, We have been upgrading ~5/month. Pbs will be more efficient so prob less upgrades and pilots needed. So now I’m currebtly projecting 3 years, 3-6 months. I’m a late 2016 hire. Guys hired in late 2015 upgraded in 2 years 10 months. So it’s slowly getting longer and longer. If we don’t have an order beyond 2021 then we hired our last captain in 2017 already. So pretty much pointless to come here now unless you just love our bases. QOL is pretty good. Pay is decent. Fast upgrade is what made this place conceivable option. For new hires now. You’ll prob never upgrade. And if you do. It’ll be 5+ years. And you’ll be reserve CA for long time, if not forever. I’d never come here now. Too many other options for faster movement and better career progression. For what it’s worth. Hold out for better. Or come here. Get A320 type and bail
