Speed,
I did not upgrade at QX. 6 years and was not close. My times were when I got hired 6500tt, 2500 PIC, 300 PIC turbine (previous job to QX), 4300 turbine and so on. I have a friend who walked my resume in. It took a couple of times to get a call. That is what helps the most from what I know. I know there have been people hired with fairly low times too.
