Well CRJ CA is back down to 2006 hires which is great news. Hopefully this keeps up!

Yep, plus the next EMB CA award should include mostly 07 hires.

The July 2008 EMB CA class that I was in had many 07 hires, including me.

As you know that was a different time, it's nice to see somewhat consistent upgrades again.

Ah gotcha...carry on then :)

Any recent interviewees care to share what approach you flew in the Frasca? Getting ready to go get in some Frasca time and I might as well practice something they might actually give me. If you had flew any arrivals or departures that would be helpful as well. Thanks in advance!

The left seat of anything is better than the right seat of anything. (Fixed wing)

Agree but most of us (I’m sure this includes you) are tired of dealing with newbies who are overflowing with a sense of entitlement and SJS. I actually flew with an FO who firmly believes (and still does today) that he is “more qualified and more deserving of a mainline job than I or any military pilot.” (His words exactly) He has NO TPIC, NO ATP, barely 2500TT and no college degree.

As for upgrade times the best answer we can give newbies is “however long it takes for your number to be called, no guarantees.”

Usually the left seat is better, I waited to upgrade at Skywest to hold a line because a reserve FAT Brasillia Captain makes about the same as a RJ FO. I just hit a point where I can hold a line on the EMB and go to upgrade class next month!
