How long is ground school/sims/LOE typically taking for CA upgrades these days?

1-1.5 months

Where do the LAX guys fly to?

Up and down the left coast repeatedly, day after day. Every couple of trips you will get an overnight in dfw, aus, mci or something. Every 2 or 3 months you might be able to snag a trip out east to sdf, dtw, ewr or something.

I have a 4 day that day 1 is LAX-DFW-DTW-EWR. With DTW winding down it seems like the trips are starting to go further east now out of LAX

There's a ton of Texas. My next trip overnights in IAH, AUS, SAT & DFW

Appreciate the info. Since your last stop shows Newark, would you deadhead back to LAX? Or is this for two days then repeat backwards the second two days? Hows that that work if you finish in LAX? Thanks.

I apologise, you stated this is day 1. So, how would your complete 4 days look like? Thank you..

He's just giving you his day 1. The rest of the 4 day will be flying all over with the trip ending in LAX.

Today an Assistant CP said, pilots in initial training will hold upgrade.

Next up....street captains at a Compass Airlines near you.
