I have every regional in the US calling me and had a class date at republic. You should hope your company is able to trick more people soon so the airplanes keep staffed.

A newly upgraded captain w/ only 1,000 121 SIC time, and maybe just over a year of total 121 airline experience being paired up with a brand new former CFI first officer w/ 0 hours of 121 experience.

Is anybody else besides me a little uneasy with the above scenario?

you sound like an angry guy, glad I wont be sharing a cockpit with you anytime soon. my sources say otherwise.

Does this guy realize there is a search function on APC to pull up all threads and posts made by FAAGoldSealCFI and see right through him and his trolling ways? Idiot.

You should have seen it back a decade ago. 1500 with 250. This is a step up today.

Some of us try to avoid commuting on certain airlines due to inexperience. I won't say which ones cus I don't want to get fired. Whoops I gave it away!

Hello Sig, what was your upgrade time on F/V Northwestern? Thx.

Someone in this thread wrote something that struck a chord in my mind. What are some indicative characteristics that someone could look at to gain an accurate idea of how upgrade time at a particular airline will speed up in the near future? Asking this as a layman, btw. Thanks.

Is the airline shrinking or growing. That might be one thing to look at.

Depends on the pilot. With a name like smacfum, did you go to ATP? If so, everyone you fly with is a single pilot, and the pilot is not you.
