Upgrade Time
 
Which regional has the shortest upgrade time?

Skywest Brasilia is said to be around 6 months but i dont know for sure.

XJT has to be close to shortest....holding steady around 2 years.

Others feel free to chime in...

Pinnacle is about 2 years as well, maybe less at the moment since the mins are/ have been dropped to 1800TT and 500 in type.. plus we are hurting for capts..

Is it now official that the mins have been dropped?

as I understand it- yes, 1800 and the magic senority number is all it takes.

Does PNCL still have the PIC flight time requirement to upgrade?

When I jumpseated about a year ago the FO (Gulfstream grad) was into his third year and had the seniority to hold CA but was forced into renting a Cessna 150 a few hours every week to get up his total and PIC time...:o

I have been at pinnacle a little over a year, and my seniority is about 100 away from the last upgrade class. i also have a little over 2000 hours and 700 in the rj. so i could upgrade once i get my seniorty. so at pinnacle its about a year and a half i would say.

That wasn't a pinnacle rule, that was actually a faa ATP rule. 250 hours pic required for ATP, but they have since changed that to include sic for 121 carrier.

If they are hurting for captains, do you think they will ever go back to the off the street direct hire captains?
