Hi GaC, your PM isn't up yet due to post count (you've got to have 15 I think), but thanks for the inside scoop.. I know of the group I interviewed with, except for a couple of them, experience may have been on the too much side if anything with one guy being a 23 year ATA captain.. Not saying he didn't have other job/options out there to take, but they're showing up to your interview.. I'm not a heavy weight like that, but i've got 5K TT 1800 PIC Jet/ATR and 5 type ratings (all but one in Glass/FMS).. so I think I could make it thru, but the way I'm reading the seniority list and the demographics of it, is that the guys hired now would likely be FOs for a good bit of time (even if they're qualified to upgrade) due to the fact that they're limited to 360 pilots and have already hired 250... it's going to be a hard sell to get guys who can't afford $22/hr for long to take a job with upgrades not in sight.. I know I'm torn over it if offered the job.

Is there a minimum experience required for upgrade, or are the 3 hired below 1500TT eligible to upgrade in seniority?
