It may be so at PSA, but at my shop I was in CASS by the second week of ground.

Wouldn't work out so well if they were in Europe backpacking on FO pay. Oh yeah, they also aren't in CASS until completion of IOE. Makes getting around a little tougher.

Paid vacation is nice, but if the regionals are to be a "get your time and get out" deal, getting your time is a big part of that equation.

Quick upgrades are not magic, you cannot go to a carrier experiencing extensive growth in-order to upgrade quickly, and then complain about the internal challenges that are associated with said growth. I mean you can, but it sounds ridiculous when compared to how the regional environment looked not too far in the past; yes things can move quicker, but it is because of a huge amount of people going through the training centers. Back when I was hired, if I would have been told that I could get on with a carrier and upgrade the moment I hit 1000 hours, but would have to incur some delays in training, do you really think I would have complained? I was staring the down the barrel of 6-7 year average upgrade time, which incidentally, is still not much more than the current average at many carriers. People need to start putting things in perspective. It is amazing what some will complain about here.

Sure, you can make cute remarks. But you are sitting on how much 121 time? Already upgraded? Until you pass all your checkrides and get off IOE nothing is a "break"....just perpetual limbo. I don't blame guys for being upset.

Sure beats being on reserve not flying and sitting hot reserve.
It's not like they don't positive space you around either.
It's July. Go to the pool. Study for 2 hours a day at Starbucks. Go for a run. Eat healthy. And thank god you aren't at a sleep inn with just a Waffle House around.
