But you’ll be sitting Reserve somewhere, lucky if you fly 60 hours a month the first 2-3 months. And then they won’t upgrade you even at 1000 hours unless there is a vacancy.
This thread has been helpful. I knew I needed 1000 hours to be able to upgrade, but I hadn't thought about how long that would take. So even though there's the one guy that had a quick upgrade, it's most likely that its about 2 years to upgrade at either airline? In that case if upgrade is comparable, I should go wherever I won't have to commute? That seems to all make sense.
