I do see the upgrade training here but it doesn't say anything about transitioning like 11(c) does - which is why I said that if upgrading with no other transition (except differences training for example) I could understand it - though not agree with it. I don't know.

11c is a little more complicated, since if I remember correctly, it barely even applies to SKW. SKW, I believe, trains all it's jet captains on all of its jets (since they're all CRJs) and gives you differences trainings. However, let's pretend that they only trained you on the CRJ200, and you would have to bid a CRJ700 slot. The training to the CR7 would be transition training.
But he moved from one airframe to another airframe - which was upgrading and transitioning. Doesn't his situation fall more in line with 11(c)

To summarize, upgrade training=upgrading to a CA position that you don't already have a class of ATP for.
Yep - got this I'm pretty sure. very similar.

Transition training=upgrading from one jet to another jet or one turboprop to another turboprop
OR CRJ TO TURBOPROP RIGHT?
