I see if you did come here with no 121 or 135 time, then yes you would upgrade when you hit it. But that does not line up with the 74k thing. So I guess it just depends on your POV. Btw what happened to the September upgrade list that closed on the 23rd of July? I can't find any information on it any where.
Well, I am still here. i have hope that the union and company will come together and fix these issues.

See 26.L.4 regarding vacancy awards. This information is only required to be provided to the MEC Chairman if requested and on a "periodic basis", whatever that means. So the union is the official place for us to seek this information. The company was never required to share the vacancy awards with us on the message board as they had been doing. It was a courtesy. Hopefully all the impatient comments on there lately haven't prompted them to retract that courtesy.

It would seem like an obvious choice to go to another airline, collect a hefty bonus, upgrade relatively quickly and have a much better QOL. Why wouldn't I do that faced with the possibility of sitting for months on min guarantee, food stamps, and god knows what on the other side of that training?
Why? The seniority!
I'm one of many FOs I know in the same spot facing the same decision. A lateral move to another regional, WTF!
I wish this company would pull its head out of its ass...
