How long will that Jan/Mar guy be on Rsv and will it be on jet or TBP?
How long will it take to hold left seat Jet? I don't mean to be rude but can all the guys/gals on the Dash make it on the jet especially in the left seat without previous jet time?

I'll have to disagree Av8. Speed, Mach tuch/buffet etc.. are a few issues. AND not just TBP to Jets but Narrowbody to Widebody and Classic to EFIS.
Now this example is from years ago and I know does not always apply however; My father went Left Seat L188 to Left seat DC8 but had previous DC8 right seat time. A lot of guys did NOT make it! Also, to move up to the widebody you needed time in type so although he could hold the DC10 and 747 he had to fly right seat in it first.
I would think that insurance, and the major airlines decisions, might have more to do with it.
I am not sure what Piedmont is doing.

I think with ORD supposedly opening up end of this year, the ERJ will go junior because most people are from the northeast and don't want to commute; it is a total guess what will happen.
There is no upgrade requirement besides the 1000 hours and I don't see dash people having issues, if they have the time.

Also, I hear and have read in previous posts that most of the CPP candidates are being turned down from UAL. Is there a common reason for this? What can people do to be better prepared to be successful with the CPP/UAL interview and Hogan test?
