So at what hire date will the right seat lock begin? JO says we need 1050 pilots with the growth he has signed on for at this time....so 525 Capitains. We are close to 900 total pilots including trainees..so around 425 Capitains at this time. So logic suggest 100 more quick upgrades over the next 18 months, the rest will be replacements for those moving on or retiring. I really don't think we will get the second bunch (30) of E-jets

That's what the upgrade looks like today. That does NOT mean anyone getting hired within the last few classes will have a quick upgrade. All I'm saying is we are fat on FO's right now. The attrition rate is low and so are the classes for upgrade.

Junior EJET award is 2/08 still, but the gap is narrowing. Only 40 or so numbers between the CRJ and EJET. December class looks like it would have a couple 4/13 upgrades in the EJET and the gap will be pretty much gone then.

PSA had a 9/13 hire in the most recent award 2 weeks ago.

November/December award will have 2013 hires in it for EJET.

That's cool bruh.

Just out of curiosity, how awkward is it when you ask for a ride on Envoy?

Yeah, but then you'd have to tell people you flew for PSA.

^^^It's sad that a low-paid Mesa pilot can say the above sentence and actually have the moral high ground

I was responding to an earlier post on industry wide upgrade times.

How awkward is it being a dbag?
