narrowing it down to PSA, XJT, and SKYW
Yeah like tlamja said, I think the forced upgrades will start to tapper off. Our reserve coffers are stupid full for CA in some bases and guys are going over a month sometimes without flying. One other thing to consider is FO reserve times are on the rise as well with CLT being a little over a year and all the other bases being 8-11 months. This will not help you when trying to get the 1000 hours 121 time to be eligible to upgrade. These times may go down if the pace of our aircraft deliveries picks up to arrive at our planned fleet size of 150 aircraft. I think we are in the mid 130s now. Good luck with your choice.
