Upgrade Time NYC
Just a new guy on the outside looking in. Not that I’m in a hurry or would even want to at min time but I’m just curious, what’s the upgrade to Cpt time in NY on the 73 or 320? Or are there too many variables to tell? Obviously asking as a new hire that hasn’t even been to Indoc yet.
Thanks

Current junior pilot awarded(haven't trained yet):
NYC320A: Jun 2015
NYC73NA: Feb 2016
As far as what it would be for a current new hire IMO too many variables. Network still has a ton of decisions to make in the future that could impact flying on those fleets drastically (MIA focus city, BOS 320 Base, etc etc. My best guess is the plug on both those fleets hover between 3-5 years for the foreseeable future

717 was a complete goatrope up there covering the 3 airports. It's fun at first as a New Captain but it starts to get tiring after 6 months. 320 doesn't seem so bad between the better trips and 321 rate reserve pay. 73 seems to be a vacation with 1-2 legs a day Country club flying they have down to the Carribbean and West Coast.

Junior pilots that have been awarded but not trained yet (should be there by summer):
73 Feb 16
320 June 15
You didn’t ask but:
220 Mar 16
717 May 16
All of these spots are about 3000-3500 from the bottom of the list which is probably a better indicator of progression with retirements taken into account.
I think the 73 award is a bit of a fluke and would expect it to get back to where the 320 is, and would expect the 220/717 to go more junior in the future depending on what network does with those aircraft.
In general people don’t want to be in NYC, especially if they would be on reserve. So if you are up for it there should be good opportunities.

I was just asking, no hurry. I simply don’t have a working knowledge how this industry works since I’m strictly military background. But thanks to everyone before this post that gave valuable insight .... brah
