These are all 145 upgrades. Until more 175s arrive CA award is very senior on that airplane.
EWR - 10/16
CLE - 1/16
IAH - 4/14
ORD - 8/13
TYS - 11/00
The upgrade times continue to drop rapidly. The next bid will bring lots of smiles!
By next summer we will be down to an 18 month upgrade. You heard it here first!
These are not awards. Period. They are base trades's. You've tried this little tactic before and failed. Yes, the numbers will come down in ORD and IAH but they haven't yet. 19-04 is the last bid.
DoSomePilotStuff:
"In the pursuit of actual FACTS, the most Jr captain at IAH is a 7/14 hire and the most Jr at ORD is a 8/13 hire. So 5&6 years, not 8 and 10. Also similar to where the EWR upgrade was only a few months ago.
Smoke and mirrors indeed.
Anymore lies you’d like to tell?"
ExpressJet base
These are the Awards as of the last bid:
Most junior Bid 19-04 upgrade :
EWR: 2 yrs, 10 months
CLE: 3 yrs, 6 months.
ORD: 10 yrs, 2 months
IAH: 12 yrs, 6 months
TYS: No upgrades (extremely, extremely senior and tiny base) (6 Lines)
Upgrade Time By Base
If the company wants to hold some more upgrades and award some more junior people they can advertise upgrade in these bases as such. A base trade means nothing.
Keep spreading misinformation.
