I'm not disagreeing with you, but ORF had one FO leave for upgrade in October (staffing date 11/1/06) and he has been here over 3 years. And he was the most junior CA in that upgrade class.
I think you saw upgrade drop because of the furloughs and lack of hiring the company did back 3+ years ago. There were a lot of classes in 2004 and on, however and it will take them longer to work their way thru those folks.
Do you have a hire date for the most junior CA awarded upgrade w/ staffing date of 12/1/06?

My point is that they aren't upgrading all the spots the captains leave behind. Look at the attrition ##'s posted on airwillypilots and then look at the upgrade awards. In September-October time frame 17 captains left - 5 upgraded. There was even a two month time period with zero upgrades while people left.

You really don't want to do that. DC is expensive, and you have to walk to the trailer park ('da world) in bad weather & wind, and the schedules suck terribly, and all the parings do LGA turns. Did I mention DCA crews always fly the ex-Midway airplanes and the river visual is waaaaaaaaay too much work.
Trust me. I'm only looking out for you...

I was based at DCA 5 months last winter before returning to PHL. I am now in ORF and hating life there. DCA is spendy, but so is ORF and there is a life in DCA. The city is accessible by Metro, I have family and friends there, etc. I can't believe I ever wanted to try ORF.
Sorry for the diversion.....
Mins are whatever it takes to get the job.....

From: CL65 Captain
I got a call without a reccomendation last May... The resume I had sent them had just over 500 TT 300 multi. Class started in June and I had just under 700TT with over 2/3's of it multi and over 1/3 of it jet. Guy's have been getting picked up pretty low time so I would keep trying. My sim partner had just under 300TT... although he knew someone high up!
