If your time meets 121 requirements, it counts. If it doesn't, well......

Legally 135 pic time only counts toward 121 upgrade if its in a multi engine and you were atp qualified, in that aircraft, at that time. 135.243a(1)

I only know this because I thought my 135 pilatipus time might actually be good for something buuuuuut upon further review it still isnt.

Even if it meets 121 regs, the airline still may require 1000 company time. Even though that seems to be getting rarer and rarer these days.

Compass does not require any company time.

for the guys hired in Jan 2018, I would bet money they'll be senior enough to upgrade in 18 months. Our current upgrade time is bloated by a 8-month hiring/upgrade freeze. Now that there's actual movement, it looks very short. I spent a year at the bottom, now that I'm moving, to go from 98% to upgade territory looks like 16 months for me. I won't even have the hours in time as a RATP

Default Any Updates?

Just curious if the upgrade time is still at 2-3 years or is there a trend toward the 18 month mark?

For a lot of us, it now looks like it’s going to be closer to a 3 year upgrade unfortunately.
