Why? Because I think overweight pilots don't look professional? Not to mention all the associated health risks.

I'm no sunshine pumper, I hope I'm not giving out bad information...so correct me if I'm wrong...but isn't line 710 in February held by a 3/10 hire?

They've altered the longevity and that's what the seniority list entails. It doesn't count the 2 plus years of furlough that many of us went through but technically you are correct.

We believe in equal opportunity here! But yes many of us need to lose weight including myself. Image is important in the eyes of the passengers but more importantly, be healthier so that we don't keel over while carrying passengers. We all worked too hard to get here to be disqualified by health reasons just when we start to make 6 figures in the majors.

Just got back from Montreal. No major announcement while we were there, but Bombardier does throw a good party. More poutaine, please.

How does your tummy feel after all that poutine???

What is upgrade time running right now? What does the crystal ball say for someone who starts class end of April? (Pending things don't change)

Probably around 1.5 to 2 years

Upgrade
 

I was told that someone who has the 121 time and is hired in the next couple of months could upgrade by Christmas. They'd probably be on reserve for a year or more in TYS. This was based on the getting remainder of the 30 900's, then the 47 700's, & keeping the 200's. (Not to mention maybe AAG exercising the options on the other 40 900's)

Is this way off base? Anywhere close?

The Useful PSA Thread
 

I'd say that's pretty close. There's a lot of variables that are hard to account for, like how many FOs might bypass until they could hold CLT, or what our SSP gets renegotiated to after SOC.

At a minimum, you're looking at a very quick ride up the FO list.
