Current regional upgrade times
 
As of today, what are the upgrade times at the various regionals? Who's hiring DECs, CQFOs, or offering upgrade in less than a year if you have the time?

This information may be buried in each regional's specific thread, but it would be very efficient to have this information all in one place, and updated from time to time.

It's been discussed a lot.. Commutair and piedmont.. The lowest... Envoy and psa.. Longish.. Express jet super long.. Everyone else.. Medium ish.. Wisconsin unfortunately forever.

This will change next year I'm sure as companies contract and expand.

Compass is 6-8 months if you have prior 121. Race to 1000 really then upgrade. If you go from zero to hero starting at 1500, it's about 18-24 months. Depends on how quickly you get to that 1000 but once you have it, you'll upgrade.

I'm not sure how PSA got roped into the same category as Envoy with upgrade times, because ours is much quicker in comparison. I think the last award went to someone here about 2.5 years? And going forward I expect upgrade time to hover around 3-3.5 years.

Not to mention a lot of the junior pilots to May 2014 are already captains. But like Chrisreedrules said, the upgrade time should increase as we only upgrade around 4- 8/month.
