In my interview I was told upgrades were 22 months...and I fully expected my upgrade to be at least double that. Current returns are not indicative of future results...

Hey everyone. I had an interview with AIRWIS today but my company (Waterski) wouldn't allow me the day off. Imagine that. I like this company already. Sarah has allowed me to reschedule for next month so I will bid my schedule around that. AIRWIS is the place for me. Hope to be there with you all!

Sure Mesa and Repubshuttleaqua is having $2500 sign-on bonuses but they also don't say that the bonus is spread out over 10 or so years. And if you leave early, they take all the money back.
Upgrades are pushing 3 to just over 3 years right now. Quite a few FO's have also skipped upgrade just to enjoy seniority.
Korean1DR- how's the commute?

Let's see - reserve FO @ AWAC or senior FO or junior CA at....ExpressJet, SkyWest, Pinnacle, Republic, etc. etc. etc. Who will make more?
Granted, AWAC is a GREAT company to work for. Absolutely amazing.
AWAC's 3 year upgrades won't continue. By the time the new CA class upgrades, it would have been 8 months for exactly 8 CA upgrades. Nothing to write home about...
Don't mislead people by telling them upgrade is "3 years". It may be right now, but that was because of some huge attrition rates with the switch in flying.

I will be here 3 years in a few days. Getting close. But no cigar kids. Upgrades are when they are. Last year they were 2.5 years. Now it is anyone's guess. We have upgraded about a 15 pilots in the past 6 months. I do think that will change, but right now it is very slow.
