Thanks for all the productive replies. I heard from a friend I interviewed with that started on the Jan 7th class. He said the CRJ is full in ord but ERJ is wide open. They told him reserve should be about 2 months but that they will fly the reserve guys 80-90 hrs anyway so its just like having a line. I am looking forward to it! I would hope that the upgrade would drop to about 4-5 years. I think that is a realy realistic time to upgrade to captain. 7+ doesnt sound to good. But I'm an optomist.
