Yes, it is faster NOW because of the new Dash's. Did you know they were "rumored" to get cabin class planes 15 YEARS AGO!! It took 15 years for it to happen.
What am I getting at? That stuff could change tomorrow. The company was EXTREMELY close to being in bankruptcy court do to default on airport fees it owed several counties prior to getting the financing available to get the Dash's.
I'm glad he upgraded that quick. 12 months ago the upgrade was over 3 years. 12 months later it's 12 months. 12 months after that = ??
I guess what I'm saying is you are taking a gample by chasing upgrade times. You could end up a 3 year FO making $18/hr. You could also end up a 2 year captain making almost double that. Roll the dice.....
