As far as upgrades go, they are planning 4 upgrades per month through July. In my opinion, they are going to have to upgrade a larger quantity of FO's each month after that to keep up with the Q400 transitions.
Also, just to reiterate...There is NO plan to hire street captains. Sorry folks.
This is purely my opinion here, but I have to agree with the NO street captains. We have TONS of FOs that I have either flown with and/or know that are ready for upgrade and have the time. If we hire any street CAs anytime soon I will be more than a little upset.
To add to what Laxrox said about upgrading 4 a month through July... although it has not been officially announced by our company, training is going to go through the roof around/after July when the new Q400s actually start coming online ... at least that would be my guess.
