A loooooong time ago...yes, you could upgrade at RAH almost as soon as you got hired as long as you had the 2500TT.

seems a lot are. i guess that the shuttle cert. is the one most in need of pilots.

must've been why they put this 145 driver on the 170 (that and it saved them $2500)

2 years ain't long enough. I've flown with several captains who were FO's for about 6 months before upgrading. If I got my timeline down, it was around 2002-2003.
