It took me twice as long to upgrade as they told me it would at my interview. I was not suprised. In fact, I remember whispering to the guy next to me at the orientation "Yeah, right...more like 3 years"...and my guess was right on the money.
I think there was some sort of miscommunication if that captain left you with the impression that domicile would have anything to do with upgrade. That does not make sense. If a pilot senior to you bids for captain, he will be awarded it first no matter what base he holds previously. That 12-18 months he mentioned...I think maybe he was talking about how long it would take to break in your new uniform.
