No, he/she turns down the quicker upgrade on the CRJ and now starts a whole thread to complain the ERJ upgrade isn’t fast enough.

You could have held DEN CRJ CA this bid and come out of training holding a line?

You aware that upgrade time was in reference to CRJ, not ERJ? You have previous post’s where you claim you want to stay on the ERJ, and basically don’t believe in yourself to take the faster upgrade which would be the CRJ.

Well guess what? ERJ was 3.5-4 years precovid and everyone knew that, because they explain that to you during the interview, training, IOE, and on the line.

Jeez dude, chill out. Are you a captain? Mind posting your emp # so we can bid avoid?

I didn’t complain upgrade wasn’t fast enough. I was only asking where that 1.5 year number came from on the profile on this website after it showed it has been updated. It seems really inaccurate. Now I know that piece was not updated. It’s old and pre-COVID. That’s all I was asking.

Why do you even care? If you’re an ERJ or CRJ FO you know the current status of upgrades, we have all that information available to us via bid awards and standing bids more senior to us.

Most other regionals still say 18-24 months. Upgrade times are going to be changing by the month. Btw you’re obviously complaining.

I don’t even have a bid in for upgrade. Won’t consider it for 2-3 more years. Just wanted to know where the number came from on this site. Got my answer. Thanks.

Recruiters are like used car salesman, their job is to sell cars.

Is it recruiters that maintain the information in the airline profiles?

I'm honestly not sure who maintains that info. But you now see why I stopped asking questions on these forums...

Barring another catastrophe like COVID, someone hired today will almost certainly have the opportunity to upgrade in 1.5 years. It might be to the most junior base on the junior aircraft, but I'd bet the December 2022 upgrade class has someone in it with significantly less than 1.5 years on property.
