How long till you can go to the majors???
Let's say you have 500 hours and just got hired at a respectable regional. About how many years would it take for you to get hired on with a major???
Although i don't even have enough hours for a regional yet, well except PSA and Trans States... |
10 years should do it
|
I know a few people that have, or are currently going in at about 3-4 years.

why 10??? most majors are hiring and if you meet the mins then you have a fair shot.

Why not 10? Takes a while to build that PIC turbine.

BTW, with today’s upgrade times it will only take pilots 3-5 years on average to become qualified for the Majors. Not like it’s really that big of a deal seeing that once at the Majors we’ll be FO gear slammers for 6-10 years before upgrade comes calling again. Now, it's more likely that it will take a pilot 10 years to get to UPS or FedEx. You need to fly a “Heavy” cross the pond before you can go to UPS and you can't do that at a regional! |
most regionals have upgrades under 5 yrs (skyway, skywest, expressjet, asa those are the ones that just poped there are many more)
