Is the upgrade time at AE still 100 years?

We got it down to about 99 years now! I think the props are running about 7yrs and jets about 8.

The current folks upgrading at XJet are about 2yr seniority, I think Comair is currently running around 4-5? Skywest was under a year, along with a few others hiring street CAs. I chose to stay with AE because of stability, potential, and living in base is very very nice. The lure of the magic 1000 Turbine PIC hasnt bit me yet, so this suits me fine. I have 35 (maybe 40) years left of this job, no need to rush!

I thought eagle upgrades were down to 3-4 years? Either way, I don't really care. It seems like a great company!

Its a real good place to work with alot of stability. Thats the main reason the upgrade is so long cause people like it here and stay. Rumor is that the upgrades will be dropping to 3-4 years by the end of this year. MIA isnt a bad base but they only have a few destinations. SJU has some of the wildest flying youll ever do. They only have the ATR's in those bases though and some of the airports we go to in SJU couldnt fit any sort of jet so they probably wont be moving any down here any time soon.
