Upgrades are going fairly consistent every month. Lots of FOs are letting themselves be bypassed on the upgrade because they dont want to be in long term training over the holidays, some are waiting a few more months for more saab captains to leave so they can look a a little better schedule and of course yes there are Saab FOs bypassed because they have less than ATP mins. (upgrades and hiring are likely to continue on into March - April.)

On a side note, Word is the company did not really like the results they got after bringing on a couple of the street captains about a year ago. Most of them have been great (ie. great attitudes, good pilots) however a very very select couple ive heard have been not so stellar.
