Which airframe are you looking to go to?
The 175 is super senior and you need about 5 year seniority to be the plug.
And due to covid we probably have over 1000 FO's who meet the requirement to upgrade and have their bid in. So at the moment i would not expect to upgrade any time soon.
On a good note, DEN is growing like crazy right now and is one of, if not the most junior bases we have.
175 ORD was 3.5 years to be the plug precovid.
The CRJ was the quickest upgrade precovid obviously but idk if that’s the case as we push into 2022. 30% of our CRJ fleet are 200’s. As the 200’s come offline and more 175’s come online into 2022 I think upgrade times are going to shift to be fairly similar.
Obviously it’s still up for debate if the 200’s are really being retired.
