Not true, there is a headset in the plane, it's actually a required equipment. So you can use that, if you choose to, I believe it's a DC, don't know exactly what model. I personally use the Bose/uflymike setup.

It really all depends on what your % of seniority will be when it comes to upgrade times. 60% seniority is the common % for the most Jr captain at most airlines to account for union positions, training positions, management, ect. The major variables to account for are pilot group size and estimated attrition. With the flows at CPZ, calculating attrition becomes a little easier and predictable. It was also stated that they plan to hire 440 pilots from now through the end of next year, so the pilot group size could reach about 700-720.
From other posts: 478 (current pilots) - 200 (170 flows and 30 other attrition est by Dec'15) = 278. If you're a new hire, add your place in line from the 440 to be hired. Divide by 700-720 and get your estimated percent by the end of 2015. Anyone 60% or less should very well be able upgrade, but perhaps even a bit higher due to FOs not having upgrade minimums. People starting class by the end of the year will be sub 60% of the pilot group. My math says 12 month upgrade feasible for the first 100ish guys hired of the 440 target. Biggest curveball will be hiring 440 by the end of next year. |

There will only be 151 flows remaining in 2015....I expect only 145, at most, will leave and successfully complete training at delta.

Wow, that's a pretty huge difference . . . 6 people out of 700.

Compass updates
How long do you guys think it will take for 1,000 hours of 121 in order to make the upgrade? Any chance of picking up flight time each month to get there quicker so that it won't slow down the upgrade process since I have no 121 time?

You can pick up every single one of my trips.
There's plenty of flying so that you could come close to doing it within 12 months of hitting the line. I will say that with new part 117 flying it's a rolling count on the hours so once you hit that 1000, you always have to be mindful of how close you're coming. Of course upgrade is a month of from flying so that helps give breathing room. |
