4th year FO. ummmmm... wouldnt call that a plus when skywest are upgrading in 18 months

It's an artificially low upgrade time. They have been holding senior FOs from upgrading there. Still better upgrade time than us.

Just wait until the 6 Compass birds hit the line, we take delivery of 12 new jets from Embraer, and we're past winter and clear of chapter 11. Oh, and attrition continues. . .

Put some time in at our level and then come back on here with your snide upgrade remarks, Skyhawk Captain. Even then it'll still be rude.

Your ignorance of Republic and the industry and it's history is showing.

BTW, I can hold Capt but choose not to for various personal and QOL reasons. My time off when I want it off is more important to me than a title. You did read the part where I'm working only 8 days this month and paid 80 hrs of credit, right?!

Do you think the seniority list has this magical cutoff where the FOs end and the CAs begin? There are a lot of people who could be a captain and just don't want to upgrade right now. At the current rate of attrition, not counting growth, I will see upgrade at 2.5 years with this company. Chances are high that I will wait longer to get better choice of base, bidding power, etc. And as others have said, if the only thing you care about is upgrades, then please don't come here.

Do you see RAH stagnating at any point and upgrade times going back up?

Also, what's keeping RAH from being a great place to work?
