For awhile (still currently) we are short on LCP’s. In May I finished 4 new hires but then the focus was the transition pilots. I know LCP’s are working their butts off doing OE.

Lots of new captains in that time frame, too.
not just one or two - it's several dozen i think
things are looking up! Upgrade time at 7 years was one of the biggest reasons to look elsewhere. This is a huge improvement.

The problem is everyone else has continued to lower the upgrade times. The 3 years and 5 months XJT upgrade that was just posted is not close to regional industry standard.

ORD: 10 yrs, 2 months! (53 Lines)
IAH: 12 yrs, 6 months! (93 Lines)
TYS: No upgrades (extremely, extremely senior and tiny base) (6 Lines)

Even worse, that upgrade is just an outlier since the 19-04 bid for other bases is still over a decade! The company designated 80-90% of the upgrades in our most junior base to stack the deck and advertise that upgrade is below 3 yrs here. Extremely misleading and sneaky on their part.

Upgrade is around 1-1.5yrs at 80% of regionals with many hiring direct entry captains (Envoy, Commutair, etc.). Get a grip on reality.
