Just checked the website; a 2/18 captain is in DTW. This 1/18 guy or gal must be there as well.

It was 2.5 but it's back to 3-3.5. Lots of transitions.

How much longer is it for an ERJ FO to meet upgrade time requirements (1,000 121/2,500 TT) than a CRJ FO. Most people at the company say choose the CRJ for the quick upgrade, but can't an ERJ FO upgrade to CRJ CA once they meet the time requirements?

ERJ FOs can upgrade into the CRJ. For awhile, reserve was much longer on the E175 compared to the CRJ in the most junior domiciles. Being on reserve often means it takes longer to get the 1000 hours. The reserve numbers have started to stabilize and even out on each fleet.

Thanks, that doesn't sound too bad. Is it my understanding for those starting with a 1,000 hour restricted ATP will have to wait until 2,500 TT for upgrade instead of just 1,000 121 time (2,000 TT)?
