Yeah...they're starting to get into the lower time guys now for upgrades (class before last was where the cutoff was from 3 year FOs to 1 year, six month FOs). Plenty are waiting for their turn, which is great for the rest of us on the seniority list.

Haven't heard even the slightest rumblings on street Captains. Thankfully.;)

Hey now, we've got a pretty good contract on the 9L,XJ,9E side. :rolleyes:

Well glad to hear things are moving. You're saying upgrade is 6 months? Almost worth giving up 5+ years at my carrier as an FO with no hope of upgrade and the salary cut just to try and move my career forward... Good luck to all there

...or pay more.

Where do you guys train?

This place is a slippery slope do your research before coming here.

I would definitely consider other regionals before coming to CommutAir. Enough said! Look at our pay scales .... if that is not a red flag please move on. You will be treated like you are paid and their is nothing you or ALPA can do about it.

There's a new hire class scheduled for 10/17... if they can fill it.

True that.

Ground is in Cleveland. Sims are in Seattle currently at FSI. Recurrent/upgrade typically in ATL.
