If you are joking please disregard he following rant.
Are you kidding me?!? It's peole like you that make me never put a loved one on an RJ. WAAA-Flippin'-WAAAA!! You have 1100tt and are are upset at the idea of having to spend another 12-14 months in the right seat before being entrusted with the lives of the people crammed into a -900?!?? When will this entitlement BS END?!?!
Savor that time in the right seat. Learn from your captains (both what to do and what NOT to do). Never quit learning. Regardless of whatever aeronautical deity you see yourself as, remember these two points:
1) You're not one.
2) Gravity always wins.
Use the time to learn how to manage #2. Don't get in too much of a hurry.

You would not see the upgrade that quick anyway since you would not have 1000 hours of 121 time by then. It's going to take you nearly 2 years to build the 1000 hours at any airline anyway so you would be eligible for the upgrade as soon as you get the time at PSA. Not only that, you would be a more senior Captain than all the guys junior to you who upgraded before you because they had the time. So really its going to be a win-win, you are going to be a senior FO very quickly, then when you are eligible to upgrade you will have some seniority as a Captain as well.

I was just weighing my options to choose what would be best for me given the trend. If it's 2 yrs so be it. If I go to ex) Skywest and its 10 years so be it.
Why does it always have to be *****ing and whinnying with you people. I was merely just wanting to confirm the rumor to have current info.
Geez take a chill pill

Your post indicated you felt PSA's "ship has sailed" because upgrade had gone from less than a year to two. At 1100 hrs that's the wrong way to look at things. If you had 3000 hrs 121 SIC, that's totally different.

You are right. I should've been more sensitive. But don't take everything so personally. I am just starting to learn about this industry. Realized it's not 'go get 1500' and then boom ur flying for airlines!
I am researching and heard hey check out PSA. It's a good company and just gotten better. It's THE company to join. Then now I heard the upgrade isn't that fast anymore. Now I never experienced how things are with upgrade anod reserve and all the other BS you guys experienced. This one is a newbie and was asking a simply factual question for his spreadsheet for comparison.

People (including myself) get worked up about this because we've BTDT. This upgrade surge is nothing new, like in 2000 and 2007. Some low-timer always jumps in wanting/expecting to move into the left seat ASAP and not knowing what they don't know. Funny story from the Way-back Machine, I recall meeting an FO (not a low-timer) in 2000 who couldn't upgrade because he couldn't meet all the ATP requirements. He was 22.
If comes in 2 years, super, but be ready for 5 years or even a furlough. Just get hired and as many people behind you on the seniority list ASAP.
