Oh I get it. I'm just saying if you come in with expectations to upgrade in 6 months because you have 121 time you might be disappointed. Also that award is for January classes so not sure the holidays are a factor.

Thats what i just said. Look at the OCT/NOV awards Jr.. people love the “after jan 1” function. I predict it will drop below 1 year again. Go back and look at my track record...

Well anyone who has "after Jan 1" function would have gotten an award this last round, which is what I said. I don't doubt the upgrade will dip below 1 year again at times. The whole point of my post was to temper expectations.

While i agree never “chase a upgrade” i do see the traing plan for the next few months. And I believe that upgrade will come back down.(CRJ) . there are a few reasons why one. Senior guys will bid off the CRJ for the ERJ. And the amount of training that will be conducted will drive it down.. wont go into specifics. But just look at the training department openings.. , for sim, ground, ftd, matrix, cpt..
