Please don't kill a good conspiracy theory.

Any current JB pilots can comment on projected Upgrade Time Averages for newhires? I know under APC it says most junior JB Captain was about a three year upgrade, what's the trend with the current hiring and growth projetions?
Thanks!
Thanks!

We will probably have a contract in the next several years, which will cause many senior FOs to jump for the upgrade due to better pay rates and work rules. Right now the junior CA spots run around 72-75% down the seniority list, which is abnormally low in my opinion. In the future we won't have so many FOs who bypass the upgrade in order to maintain a decent schedule.

fwiw
if you were hired 2.5-3 years ago, you're holding the left seat. 320 has gone jr. to the 190. This may continue, but it's not expected to last. If you're hired tomorrow, you'll have a seniority #of about 3200. I think the jr. ca was 2385. that was past 72%. not normal. being jr. here stinks. hired today I'd say conservatively, 3-5yrs. probably more like 5-8. When we sign our first cba, things may change and i'd expect a lot of the bypass guys to jump left. so longer. this will increase upgrade exponetially. the jr capt. will be jr for a long time, we are a young group (think 35-45ish jr capts) and we have very few forced retirements.
90ish planes coming in the next 6 years. so there's lots of room for motion.
