What caused your upgrade time to drop by half?

True that on RJ perma-reserve...but I don't know of any regionals DBA any legacies paying $200/hr to push an RJ up and down the coast. I'm sure all of our legacy counterparts would love to have the Ejets their companies own on property paying ~$200/hr. But obviously there's a reason most guys would rather stay in the right seat of the 320.

They do. I was referring to the other guy's post because I think like you I imagine, they most certainly count. I was more or less trying to point out there's a little bit of stigma of having "RJ" in the ERJ-190 type rating. But I imagine the TRUE reason for the 190 Captain going so junior is the flying is just riddled with EDTC's, GDP's and other undesirable things about 4 leg-a-day NE corridor flying..Most guys would fly a 172 if the pay and schedule were awesome enough.

$195 190CA
$151 320FO
190CA reserve: $195x75=$14,625, on reserve at the bottom of the list, with a bad schedule, 13/14 off, 3-4 leg days
320FO 50% line: $151x85=$12,835, with 15-17 days off, good schedule, 1-2 leg days
Throw in a prem trip once a month and the 320FO can make as much as (or close to) a reserve 190 CA with a better QOL.
That said, I bet 190CA will continue seeing a lot of movement, especially with 25-28 321NEO deliveries in the next 18 months, as well as staffing the 220 beginning, both of which will likely absorb many of the mid-senior 190CAs. So the 3-5 year guys may not be perma reserve captains on the 190. Next couple years should be interesting with 3 fleets.
