12 month upgrade? Yeah like when I got hired at RAH in 2007 it was a 13 month upgrade. Flash forward 6 years later... right around the corner. Do you recall how long Mesa managed to keep those DL owned CRJ-900's operated by Freedom? Maybe a year at the most before Delta moved them to another DCI carrier. Just because Mesa has 175's coming owned by UAL, there is a ton of risk in that type of business.
I hope it all works out well for my humble friends at Mesa that have gone through seriously tough times. For you... I just pray you shut up and learn a bit from those guys over the next 12 months before you upgrade.

If you were hired at RAH in the first 11 months of 2007 you should be a Captain if you took first available. 6 year upgrade - 5 years Age 65 stagnation= 1 year true upgrade time. Still pretty much spot on as projected

Boy, isn't that ironic that you make a comment like that?
Better work rules and pay than Mesa? Well, considering I'm staring at a 12 month upgrade, please explain to me which regional beats $52/hour second year pay?
Do your research on what's happening here before you start running your mouth.
I'd sure rather be here than at a place with a fleet of obsolete 50 seaters. But, go ahead and argue that, I guess we've learned over the last 10 years that 50 seaters are really valuable huh?

Well, I can confirm from a friend at TSA that got hired in August 2012 he got called for captain upgrade, but doesn't have 1,000 Part 121 time yet. Also, some guys I can also confirm in my class in January 2013 got called for captain upgrade, so what you heard is correct.

Times are completely different here than they were back in the DL days. We are the #1 on time express feed month after month.
9 900s came this summer. 20 more will be announced any day now.
Wanna know what is a joke?
The Brickyard Q operation. There's a contract that should be lost. It's a mess.

Skillet almost everyone on the current seniority list will be able to upgrade by Jan 2015 given they have the time. Ask MK or anyone from the training dept in PHX. they're confirm.
