As we go down the list, a bunch will have to bypass causing those hired right now to hold CA late summer/fall and basically street captains to occur for a short period. After pilots catch up with their time, they will be about 35%-45% when upgrading and things should settle out.

After the street captain phase, you are looking at at least 2-3 years to upgrade unless we get a higher than normal attrition.

If you have the time, now is the time to start, otherwise you will miss this opportunity when it hits in the next 3-6 months.

When you say early start, what time roughly ?

I ask as I will be commuting from OAK/SFO and wondering if I can make it same day or if I need to arrive night before.

Thanks!

What regional carrier has the same travel priority as their mainline partner?

PSA, same as AA, and they also give you 16 buddy passes per year. The one thing that blows about non-wholly owned is the travel benefits. Not a big deal, but, those 16 buddy passes add up to a considerable amount of $$$ if you use them for your extended family when traveling internationally.
