Upgrade requirements
I've seen quite a few questions regarding upgrade requirements here and wanted to try to get it in one easy spot.
Legal FAA requirements are 1,000 hours of 121. I believe mil flight time is allowed some conversion. This is not waivable.
Contract requirements are 2,500TT and 1,000 company. These are waivable.
After first upgrade, there is a 12 month equipment lock. This is waivable.
Flight times are waived by equipment. A 900 may not waive times for upgrade, while a 200 does. On the last vacancy, this was the case.
One needed 2,500TT/1,000 company to hold upgrade, plus seniority (roughly 2 years for JFK/LGA). If you were a R-ATP candidate at 750/1,000/1,250, this means you need to meet the 2,500.
For the 200, times went as low as projected mins (75hr/month). This means one could finish FO training and be awarded upgrade without meeting 2,500TT/1,000 company. Projection of flight time is only applicable for contract times, meaning you must meet 1,000 121 prior to the closing time of a vacancy.
Seatlocks from upgrade have been waived recently, and a memo indicated that could continue. For those of you that want 900 captain but don't meet contractual, you can upgrade 200 then possibly swap over. Clear as mud?

Funny how a 1900 with people in the back counts but boxes doesn't...

135.243(a)1 time counts. There are a couple of things covered in that, but long and short of it is, an operation requiring an ATP and having passengers.
