This is great news congrats to all. It took me quite a bit longer before I was able to move seats . I flew with some very seasoned guys who taught me a lot of what I know today. I experienced a lot of different situations in my short 8.5 years in the right seat which I am now able to use in the left. I question how the transition will be for guys with only 2 years under their belt. Of course we all know how to fly, but when it comes to making those PIC decisions will some of these guys have issues? I guess time will tell good luck to all.

We don't have a sub two year upgrade time. Paper CA doesn't equal real CA. By late summer/fall we should (based on the flow plan) have sub three year CAs finishing IOE. We may see a sub two year CA in the winter but who knows.

So all of the claims of the "Envoy salesmen" turned out to be true, so far...
I wonder what Ag386 and eaglefly are up to these days. I was seriously skeptical of the 2.5 year upgrade/6 year flow claims, but it appears as though the 2015 hires hit the sweet spot.
More 140's wouldn't be terrible news. More planes means more lines and better schedules. More bases would probably follow an announcement of more planes, too.

More planes = more junior mans. **** poor utilization won't change, and more aircraft will only make things worse.

Hopefully there will be some communication soon, from either the company or the union, about the first selections coming from the Protected Pilots list. More planes = less flow.

No, no it doesn't. Have you seen the new hire numbers? Plenty of new hires coming in to support that growth and still flow. Your above statement is unsubstantiated propaganda, not logic.
