I flew about 300 hours my first year here. I am a Medford line holder. I consider the amount of flying that we do not do to be criminally negligent.

I am a Medford line holder bidding at the number 6 position. I flew just about exactly 300 hours in my first 12 months. I consider the amount of flying that we do not do to be criminally negligent.

The solution for any regional applicants is simple. If you're interested in Horizon apply and interview. If they offer you a Q400 class, politely decline and say you're interested in the jet. If they say they only have the Q400 give them a thanks but no thanks, feel free to call me if a jet slot opens. Then keep shopping elsewhere.

From what I’ve heard jet upgrades are going more senior and you can’t upgrade into the jet by getting the 1000 hours. I fly with plenty of senior Capt’s who are thinking of jumping over. I wonder how senior it will go? Unlike the Q you still can at 1000 and they will beg you too. But I still think it’s worth waiting for the jet especially if you’re Seattle based.

Most of us had to wait to upgrade even after we got our 1000, it's okay. If you're still in the right seat after 2-2.5 years then you can rethink it.
