Negative.... 5 to 1, Pinnacle to Mesaba on the 200. There will be at least a few Mesaba captain names for the 200. (I see no conceivable way for any Colgan pilots to go back to 200 Captain) As for the 900, only Mesaba is under quota. The question is by how much? I see Mesaba filling the quota then most of the rest going to Colgan, unless those now very senior FO's with pay protection are content to sit FO til their Delta (or wherever ) class date.

It's looking like upgrade time is going to be like at Skywest (meaning it will drop quick) with the hiring and growth. Any idea on how low the upgrade time will go? Also what's reserve time looking like now? Or is it hard to tell with some of the new guys will in trainig.

No, it's not announced, and it probably won't be. There is no official plan for the 200's. Delta is ~20ish 76 seat jets under the limit, which allows DCI to be over the 125 limit.

Good on you guys for having some upgrades, though!
As far as the questions on upgrade time, it can be quite misleading after times of little to no hiring. And with the bloch quotas, it's even more unclear. What happens in situations like this is when things start moving, it's just shuffling and nothing happening at first... but if it goes over a certain hump, it's like a light switch being flipped on in regards to progression.

Positive. There are only about 20 Mesaba captains left on the 200, the quota was 100. Mesaba has been below since 2013. Mesaba is just slightly below on the 900. There was at least 1 retirement and some that have moved on since the last award.

I may be wrong but if you are pay protected and can re-upgrade, you have to or you lose the pay protection. Otherwise they'll go to FO pay.

That's true, but with the retention money, FO pay (with proper budgeting) is manageable for a year waiting for a Delta class. Some guys can now afford to sit with a nice schedule and no risk of a pink slip that could cost them a Delta class rather than commute to JFK to sit reserve.

If that is the case, the vacancies would have been posted sooner and there would have been some mention of it from mainline. It's good things are not all negative there, but there is no need to live in a dream world.
