One maneuvers lesson and your MV. 2 lofts and then your LOE. Usually two trips of OE then. Start to finish it was less than a month. Sims are bid for by seniority in captain leadership. They just pass around a piece of paper with different schedules. Overall upgrade wasn’t hard at all.
I'm going back to the 200, but I have not flown the plane in 4 years. (also, it was at my ex-wife (airline)). They only gave an upgrade date. No differences or anything else.
Does that seem strange. Wouldn't I have differences before upgrade?

The only ones whom I saw nearly fail were those who were texting or chatting on their phones during class and not paying attention. I.e., they brought it on themselves.
Everything is covered in class sufficiently to make a 100% with little to no outside study.
