With the amount of pilots we have right now that have the time for upgrade, I seriously doubt street CA's are anywhere on the horizon. Now, that being said, I was rather shocked to see the number of 7000 #s on the list for upgrade through Nov!! If this keeps up and we do get the 15Q's next year, I can easily see every FO we have right now (with the exceptions of possibly the brand new guys coming online this year) upgrading by April of 2012. I don't mean to sound like the "car salesman" here, but if you look at the numbers on the Preferential Bid Award it makes sense.

There is no major airline on my horizon, and if I didn't have to be here now for the second time I sure as hell wouldn't be. So, thanks again for your input and display of pompous ignorance, because obviously you don't work at 9L (lucky for you)...Probably another XJET tool that's dragging in that POS Brazilian ramp FOD at 140 knots on a 10-mile final...

Ok, so you clearly work for Colgan (as do I) ... this is your second time at this airline apparently ... already upgraded, but are now back as a FO??... and have no desire to move on to a major???? *** did you come back?? lol
