ABX Upgrade Times
The top 46 First Officers out of 112 on the current bid list at ABX have had careers that have now touched two different centuries and three (soon to be four) different decades.
The most senior First Officer was hired in 1991. Number 46 was the last one hired during the 20th century. There is an 11 year gap between #46 and #47. Beginning at number 17, (due to bypasses, etc.) and with a hire date of 1996, that person could not even hold a Captain spot if he wanted to. 22 years in so far and no chance of upgrade anytime soon. Our most junior Captain was hired in 1996. (That was last century if you’re keeping track.) Food for thought. Just saying. |

Sounds like ABX is ripe for quick upgrades here in a few years.

Hah, hah, hah. They are parking planes and losing contracts nearly as fast as they are retiring captains. There is negative growth here, and there is little reason to think that will change. We've been beaten to the punch by our sister/whipsaw airline. Plenty of guys with a decade+ left that will occupy the shrinking number of captain seats for many years to come! I hope I'm not around when most jr captain hits 30 years of seniority.
