Pretty sure this is right. The 25 hour trip rig just gets you up to 25 if you don't get there on your own. As it was explained to me.

Hi peeps,

I have been reading this thread for the last few days and wanted to see if I could get verification on something I read a few pages back. I can't find it now, but someone mentioned that some new hires were getting awarded CA positions before out of initial training. From an inside source, I was told they were not aware of this happening. Also was told your company has a required number of hours to be flown on property before you can be eligible for the left seat.

Can anybody verify the time frame of the quickest recent upgrades and what base/equipment were awarded.

Thanks!

Minimum company hours is nominally 1000, but has been waived down to almost nothing for every vacancy announcement in recent memory. Most junior CA on the list is a November hire. And we just got a memo reiterating how hiring will focus on people with the 1000 legal time, allowing a quick upgrade.

Thanks for the info! So would the November hire be finished with initial training yet? Was also told Endeavor's initial was something like 70-90 days... Do they complete initial FO training through IOE or transition to upgrade somewhere before FO IOE? Sorry for all the questions, this just a whole new world from when I was flying the regionals, and I'm really contemplating returning to a US airline for more PIC time. Therefore, I'm really trying to get a better picture of how these "quick upgrades" are taking place.

Cheers

Training is roughly 90 days. Then OE of 25 hours, more it needed. Then consolidation of knowledge (100 hours). After that, you are complete. No training elsewhere, except that we do have a sim in PHX.

You can get awarded CA in training of the company needs you. And they have the past two awards. Not quite street CA, but close enough that you couldn’t tell the difference.

They are right. You dont go over 25, unless you actually do. 25 hour is pay protection for a 5 day trip, not credit. If you get what I mean.

Is anyone else getting repeat phone calls from scheduling? The last few times they have called me to assign me flying I’ll get a call and not two minutes later someone else will call again and tell me the same info. Feels like the guys from super troopers are doing the repeater with me lol

I do a lot of 5 day trips and they like to change the schedule on you. Particularly when there is a 30 hr overnight. The 25hr of credit is a protection applied after the trip. So if the trip actually has less than 25 anything extra you do is free work until you crack 25 hrs of actual credit. Never answer your phone. Make them work at notifying you or listen to the voicemail and if you want it call them back.

Lesson learned. I like helping when I can but not when it requires me to rush between gates and get looked at by a fully boarded aircraft like I was the one that made their flight delayed for no extra compensation. Little did they know I saved the day. Luckily my Captain made it known on his PA because he could sense the hostility filling the cabin.

I am one of those guys in the November class that got an upgrade already. We just finished our PV and start sims next week. We had about 3 weeks off over the holidays due to sims being backed up. We are scheduled right now to finish training at the beginning of Feb. We would then do IOE as an FO in Feb and go to upgrade training in March. That is the way it is scheduled right now, obviously that is subject to change.
