Ok, that makes sense. I new it sound familiar from somewhere.
How about Comair?, do they follow the same procedure as AE? I know they also take a while to upgrade...Does the same apply there?
So this means that other than AE, any of the other regionals, it really doenst matter how long people are upgrading to CA, if you join them with say 2500 TT, you should expect (in theory) a slightly higher upgrade time than average fort hat regional? (at least on paper, I understand the tough environment for Regionals know but, you know what I mean...)
