I don’t know how many bids have been awarded since I left....but I left 7 months ago, and I was like FOURTH from the bottom in IAH. I worked there for 12 years and one day. I was a CA for 4.5 years, and every single day of that was on reserve.

Since that time, a shizz-load of super senior CRJ guys infested the place, which couldn’t have helped. I no longer have access to any lists or anything, but you and your opponents are arguing over semantics. The upgrade time at XJT has dropped DRASTICALLY, just not in the most “desirable” bases. If you want it bad enough, like I did, you’ll take the first available and commute for the money and PIC time. If you don’t, then you bypass a long time and upgrade on your own terms.....like the 19-04 guy probably did.
