Upgrading upon reaching 1000 - 121 hours?
Before I get shamed... I did search and didn't find a recent relevant answer.
I understand things can change, but can one expect to upgrade upon reaching 1000 hours of 121 time? Seems to be about 1 year and a half in some other places.
Not expecting holding a line would be possible, just wondering if upgrade time here is where some other regionals are.

Our last award was given to someone with 1224 hours of company time. Right now, attrition is pretty low at around 15 a month. Once Delta starts hiring again we should go back to 30+ leaving a month and I would suspect we will be awarding people with exactly 1,000 hours company/121 time within a couple months. We are suppose to see 25% growth, so that will create a lot of upgrades as well.

Chances are you’d upgrade pretty quickly. We were upgrading after FO OE recently for those who qualified.
As for a line.. you’re at the bottom of the list... it’ll be a while

One of the things I really enjoy about being here is that everyone is rowing the same direction. I've found very little divisiveness among my peers, a few odd ducks, but for the most part, this place is a winning culture. I'm just waiting for Delta to turn the spigot back on so we can start seeing some nice progression again.

I haven't had anything short of exceptional service from the CS team. Sure, some new talent down there from the sounds of it, but I've had good experiences in my nearly 2 years with the company.
