There are CURRENTLY no forced upgrades. Check back in about three weeks when the results of the next (should be announced in the next week or two) bid closes. There is currently a standing vacancy for 145 ORD Captain which means you MAY bid for that if you have the qualifying hours. Probably not a good idea with the fleet shrinking.
