"Under a year" is incorrect. Just wanted to provide correct info.
Facts from the most recent system bid in November 2022:
- The E-190 fleet has the shortest upgrade time. Captain upgrade on the A-220 and A-320 requires several years more seniority than upgrading on the E-190.
- In the last system bid, a BOS E-190 captain upgrade was awarded to a July 2022 hire, effective December 2023. So that person will be the most junior captain and will have 18 months at the company before upgrading.
- In the last system bid, the most junior JFK E-190 captain upgrade was someone with more than 2 years at the company.
- For all other bases and aircraft, most junior captain upgrade is typically 4 to 6 years. Others may be able to add more specific info.
