Default Upgrade bidding

How accurate is FLICA with regards to the "What if award" function? Does it work as advertised? The company has encouraged me to upgrade ASAP with my prior 121 Q time. all i'm seeing is you would not be awarded.

Wait until a few hours before the bids close and try it again.

If you want the upgrade, you're going to get it.

What actually ARE the requirements to upgrade? It occurs to me I haven't read it anywhere here.

Reference email from system CP What's happening at Horizon and Jets?

1) The usual FAR minimums under 121.436 (1,000 hours SIC)
2) 750 hours with Horizon, but that is being waived on a case by case basis.

Yeah, I got those, but I'm also really taking seriously your comments about the challenge, esp with a newb in BOTH seats. And trying not to get overly ridiculous: day ONE of training is still in front of me. Fly the airplane first, you know. Just get this next thing done and then the thing after that, etc. Just my way of saying I don't think I'm Chuck Yeager or Sparky Imeson or Scott Crosfield (& look at how those last 2 no longer breathe). I'm also sayin' I'm broke and got a family to feed. So, we'll figure it out, but first things first.

Well you have to do FO ioe first anyway, so do that and re-evaluate.

What are you doing in the mean time waiting at home for a call on your IOE date?

Default PDX seniority

How senior is PDX on the captain side and how long does it take to hold a line there?

New captains are getting it right away, even the new hire captain got it. At least 3-4 years to hold a line.
