Upgrade Times
 

Is there a delay for upgrades, or is it pretty much as soon as you reach your 1,000?

Also, I know MSP is super senior for CA’s but what are the other bases like?

First, you need to get hired here before you can worry about upgrading. My understanding is that if you worked here, you could figure out the numbers.

This has been discussed in many different groups

I think after this summer quick upgrades are gonna come to a halt. The last couple upgrade classes have been huge, almost twice as big compared to like 3-5 monthes ago. A major reason for hiring slow down is to get a lot people through the upgrade pipeline and we have a good chunk of expressjet guys upgrading. Some are ground school upgrades. The 2015 hires were very slow to move over, and that’s where a lot of their issues came from. The 2016 hires are taking the upgrade a lot faster. Pretty much as soon as they’re eligible. Big reasons was 2015 hires could hold MSP FO and didn’t want to commute where as 2016 hires all got NYC in ground school.

Hiring is picking up full swing again next month since the CZ deal didn’t go through.

Do you feel better now?

And what CZ deal was that?

Well, early last week mainline supposedly met with TSH to acquire CZ but they didn’t strike a deal because TSH wanted more than what daddy Dixie was wanting to pay. However you want to correlate it to 9E (as I have by conjecture and adding 2+2) is your prerogative.

I don’t; hence my asking. 🤔

Don't mind him. There's a few grumpy ones here, but they don't speak for the rest of us.

Totally feel better. By the time someone gets hired, goes through training and actually starts flying and gaining time up to 1000... so many things will change. Good luck all with the forecast of any company that far ahead
