To answer the question asked, the current jr FO at EWR appears to be still in training.Originally Posted by njd1
Currently a captain in 121. Considering a lateral to Republic to get EWR and stop commuting. What are the chances of holding EWR as FO out of training these days and what could I expect for an upgrade timeframe assuming I currently meet all requirements including 2500TT?
I think this is fairly consistent. I couldn't hold it out of training in 2018, (got LGA) and put it in as a standing bid, I was asked to transfer early, something like 3-4 mos early. Point being, it wouldn't take long if you didn't get it out of training. I'd say your chances are good.
If you are looking at staying in EWR as a Captain, the jr Capt on the line appears to be a 6/18 hire. Looks like the Jr award for upgrade starting in Oct is a 10/18 hire, upgrade effective 12/1/21 If you're in 121 already, you know it changes all the time and no one can really tell you what to "expect."
When things were really moving pre-Covid, I would say you could've started upgrade training in a little over 14 ish mos. A couple of my classmates did.
