Seven month upgrade at TSA?
So I hear the junior CA at TSA has been on property for 7 months.
Is that correct? How does this work wile on probation? Does your probation expire once you upgrade? |

This guy was just bypassed so he is upgrading out of seniority order. Give it about 3-4 months and those CQFO's will start getting it. Then the upgrade will be at a steady 7-8 months. |
Any idea what upgrade time would look like for someone with prior 121 time entering TSA now as an FO? Just trying to have some ballpark idea.

so if you flew 500- 750 hrs a year it would take you 1.5-2 years roughly to upgrade. Mav said it correct, CQFO's will be getting true upgrade in about 3-4 months, of course depending on how many FO's become eligible as they get more time. Currently the first CQFO is about 26 away from the most junior CA. |

Currently the first CQFO is about 26 away from the most junior CA. Looking at the most recent seniority list, which had about 500 pilots on it, we may have just hired our most junior captain. I personally still don't think we have, due to the fact that there are probably 100 pilots on military or medical leave, and/or in the training department. With 86 airplanes being the final number we still need to hire at least another 350 - 400 pilots, and I don't think we've hired that most junior guy strictly based on the growth aircraft. I believe our most junior Captain for the growth will start training sometime in May. After May, you will need some attrition which is also starting to pick up. I think that anyone still hired through the summer is going to see a very fast upgrade, especially if you have the time. You have by no means "missed the wave." |

We are starting to get to the point to where we are hiring lower time guys. It will take them longer to reach the minimums, allowing higher times guys to upgrade faster.
