Default TSA Upgrade: 13 mos (and dropping?)

Talked to a guy from my 9/5/2006 TSA newhire class.
He's going to upgrade class on 10/9 of this year.
Any of you TSAers care to speculate on the possibility of street captains?

I do not work for TSA but I am going to guess when you hire at 250/25 you are going to need street capts in the near future...it takes those kids some time to get the required hours.

My voice has already dropped and I have been able to drink and gamble for many many years now.

Don't think it will happen. There were a ton of newhires last year. I know at least 15 personally that will be eligible for upgrade by the end of the year. People that have the time are still having to wait for seniority.

I think upgrades will inch their way back up to around two years because half of the FO list has less than a year in right now.

He'd probably wash out like most of the ATPers seem to do.

Spoken like a true genius.

I have never gone to ATP.
