Understood. I guess what I am saying is, advising people to go to GoJets based on the fact that some of our furloughs are now captains there just doesn't make sense. This will probably be not the case for any new hires at GoJets right now.

I know the new prospects must've heard this over and over again. You should pick a regional based on a good contract, available bases but never to chase the quick upgrade. What might be true today might not exist tomorrow.

What is the passing score on the Delta test?

How are you guys preparing for this test?

I interviewed yesterday in Alt with ExpressJet, and today I was given a ERJ class date for November the 18th.

I was one of eight guys that interviewed, and all eight of us were given an offer as for as I know.

Any advice for getting ready? How long does the training normally take? I am excited to get started!

Can someone tell me if and when Expressjet hired in 2006 would have had a chance to upgrade to Capt?

Thanks

Most junior captain is 12/2006 hire. So we are almost starting into 2007 hires. A lot to go there!! So it's pretty much a 7 year upgrade right now.
