In your situation, that could take as little as 4-6 months.

Training over the holiday\Peak season
When you guys have classes during the holiday\peak months of Nov\Dec, are there any adjustments made to the schedule for the holiday's, or to account for check pilots having to fly the line?

We are not planning to have a BE1900 class because every available instructor for that program will probably be flying on Peak runs.

My son recently applied to you and got a response back that you are not hiring any FO's at this time. Even if they meet or exceed the minimums that you posted.
He was told that it is taking a few years to get FO's to the min hours for CA, therefore they are not hiring any at this time.

If he's closer to 700 TT and willing to basically be TDY, it'd be even sooner - closer to 4 months.
We have two types of First Officers. Our EMB120 First Officers that we hire at 500 TT typically upgrade within a year. However, if they aren't willing/able to relocate and are on a lower-timed EMB120 route, then it will take longer. Our ACP First Officer that we hire at 750 TT typically upgrade within 4-6 months. They don't get assigned a base until they become Captains, because the goal is to get them to Captain mins asap.
