No really I mean I understand seniority # but to use "age" I was really asking.. Otherwise why would I post? ** pretend I know nothing and am asking on a pilot forum to get more information...
Anyways 5 years junior and not holding a line.. ummm.. What was the name of that truck driving school. Truck masters?

In DTW, you can expect 1-2 years as an FO on reserve. ATL you can expect 3-4. IAD/DFW are about a year. Shortest upgrade in the company is still running about 8 years.

Are you serious? The mustard I cut fills my logbook with jet time. I don't have a spot for big and small RJ time. They are all RJs, no one cares about how much it weighs. Get over it. You are talking about a few thousand pounds and it's the same type. You should be more concerned about never upgrading and sitting reserve for years. I'd go somewhere else if I were a new hire.

The question is how long to wait. We aren't getting any younger. Me personally I would like to start a family soon. I don't want to start a family when I'm 40. I can't start one now bc I don't make enough money, I have high student loans and my girlfriend is in the same boat. I don't know how long I can be patient and wait while this job takes away the simple things in life because I want to fly for the majors. Hopefully we all have a chance soon with all of the jobs that are opening up. I think most of us will have a shot, but this waiting game here at Expressjet with no light at the end of the tunnel for the past 6 years and the foreseeable future, is getting old.
The wait sucks... a lot. There is a light at the end of the tunnel, we just can't quite see it yet. Upgrade at L-ASA? Probably not. I'm less than 100 from the most jr CA but I don't see it happening. We're more likely to get picked up at a major carrier before we see a left seat at L-ASA. Hiring will pick up again this fall as UAL gets through their backlog of training and DAL will hire even more. Spirit, Virgin America, JetBlue, AA and USAir are all hiring as well. It will happen.

I had the same thing happen bc my temporary license expired after 120 days and I hadn't given them a copy of my permanent. You can upload it or just give a copy to the chief pilots office.
