SJS? You're familiar with the E-170 correct?

You have over 3000 posts and you're surprised a regional FO makes $36/hour?

I guess they showed me...

Nah you meant to say 5-6 weeks.

Does this have to do with an award that was just published or something?

Its crazy..... HOM isn't the only junior captain base


Most Junior HOM Captain is a 05/19/2014 newhire (3 month Upgrade)

Most Junior PGD Captain is a 01/06/2014 newhire (8 month Upgrade)

Most Junior PIE Captain is a 12/02/2014 newhire (9 month Upgrade)

Most Junior LAS Captain is a 11/09/2012 newhire ( Under 2 years)

The LAS upgrade blows my mind. It's not just Junior guys going to the HOM base. Even IWA captain went under 5 years. Street captains next. You don't need to go to Lakes anymore for that street captain position.

Newhire FO to MD-80 captain in 3 months. Seems safe to me....
Unfortunately, with a quick upgrade regional guys are going to ignore everything we've been warning them about and trip over each other to apply.

The bottom captain slots are going junior 'cause folks suspect these positions will still be at risk of TDY; no guarantee HOM pilots will cover all the TDY's. It's a roll of the dice most FO's, so far, are unwilling to make.

Clmp... Some people listened, did their homework and didn't accept the class invite. [emoji4]
