Announcement said CRJ flying to continue in DFW. ERJs going back to Envoy starting in January. Those pilots will be transitioned back to the United side, so ERJ DFW base will likely close.

The company definitely wants upgrades. It's the only thing that's really hurting our recruiting efforts. One thing I will say though about upgrade time is that the gap between 9 year guys getting the upgrade now and 3-4 year guys like myself is shrinking a lot; atleast on CRJ side. Roughly only 150 guys in that gap of 5-6 years! Means if we ever got some damn growth upgrades will drop like they did at SkyWest. Not to long ago I remember they too had 7+ year upgrades. Amazing what some new EJets did to that upgrade time. Last I heard 2-3 yrs now, which is where Xjt needs to be and can be with some solid growth.

We have nine tear upgrades and a two and a half year furlogh gap. That brings upgrades to almost seven years by the time we reach that point, unless im missing something.

There are less than 100 people between the most junior awarded captain (not done with upgrade training) and the September 27, 2010 LXJT recall pilot. He moved up about 17 last month. At that rate, he will be awarded an upgrade around March 2017, at which time our upgrade time will be under 6.5 years. Every month after that should see a reduction in upgrade times.
