Eagle Upgrade Time
 

What is it now? Friend wants to know.

6/25/01 DOH is junior Saab CA, ATR is around 5/01, Jet is 9/00

Jr Saab CA is about 40 FOs from hitting the 2004 DOHs.

How many are your hiring a month?

upgrading* not hiring, jfc, APC needs an edit feature.

Average vacancy bid has been for 20-30 CA slots per month.

So upgrade at the end of this month will be realistically 4 years at Eagle, or less.

Dude, all this stuff is like french to me...

How 'bout yerars estimate to upgrade in jet?

Sorry for the ignorance, still learning here...

ok, you beat me with the post, thanx!

Quick question here, wouldnt it make a difference how many hours total you have when you join AE? Wouldnt you reach the minimums faster?

Cheers!

You'll probably have at least 2000-2500 hours by the time you are 4 years at Eagle.

Upgrades are done purely by seniority, unless someon above you doesnt meet the FAA ATP requiremnents. This is huge for people getting hired by Eagle now becuase their are a lot of new FO's that wont meet the ATP Mins. Particularly the PIC requirment. So in four to six years, if we are still around, there wil "some" upgrading out of turn. But it is done by senority first.
