That’s what it says online but I don’t know a single FO that has been awarded around 750 hours. All the people I know that have gotten their upgrades this month are 915-940. They had bids in with “any”. Lowest I’ve heard of was someone at 850.

not true. Check the standing bid list and talk to some of the FOs. I was awarded an upgrade class at about 780 hours. As long as you have any in your bid and are at or above 750 when the bid closes you should get your award.

I and a few other FOs were sub 800. I received my email at the end of April. I upgrade in august

Interesting good to know. Is part of the requirements that you must reach 1000 hours by your class date to get the CRO? Otherwise you could milk it on reserve.

Yes, they assign the class date based on an assumption of 70 hours of block per month. If you don't make an effort to meet that, you lose the CRO.

For example, if the company keeps displacing an FO off trips and as a result they won't meet their hours but that FO has reached out to the training department and is picking up trips, they haven't been denying the CRO from what I've been told. Bid reserve to milk it? You'll lose the CRO. Seems to boil down to if the person was acting with integrity if they miss their class date.
