All you need to know as a potential new hire is that upgrade will be AT LEAST 12-15 years.
I was just curious if anyone actually knew when the last upgrade took place. I am not considering it, too many good corporate positions out there hiring direct into the left seat.

It's a loaded question because of past integration issues and the fact that about 20 former NJI pilots occupy PIC spots despite holding integrated seniority numbers junior to a large number of SICs.

Like I said, don't go there.

That sounds like a crap deal right there.

But bro, most junior CA is a 2012 hire, that LITERALLY means that upgrades are only 5 years out...

Upgrades are going to be very, very slow there for quite a long time. I left a little while ago, but was a late-2006 hire, and was still in the bottom 15% of the seniority list. To get to the same relative seniority position as the 6/05 guy who upgraded, I'd need to move up another 375 spots on the list, and upgrades are very few and far between right now.

Realistically, my crystal ball says that someone hired today would not upgrade for at least fifteen years. The job really does have a lot of positives, but career progression is, unfortunately, no longer one of them.

I’d rather read FLYLOW22 talk about an IBB and to “just wait, in 8 months you’ll see.”
