Opening the Detroit base threw things off a little bit though. The bottom 30 captains on the list are nearly all in Detroit and not a single upgrade was awarded to any other base in the last bid. Upgrades slowed down to one class per month for the summer like they usually do. Once Detroit is staffed and they're awarding to other bases the upgrade bids will probably go a little bit more senior for a while again.

Last summer the upgrade time was at 3 years 8 months as of the August 2015 bid award, then not a single captain junior to that was awarded until January which spiked the upgrade time back up to about 4 years 3 months. It's very possible that something similar will happen this fall due to Detroit going so junior.

You may get DTW out of the gate but by the time you finish IOE you will easily be able to hold ORD.

This is a joke right? Leave a the hottest ugly sister for the ugliest(regional analogy)? Maybe you should just head on to envoy with your record.

I'll get an immediate response here. Due to vacation and gold days, I got awarded less than 75:36 hours for July. Will they force RSV or an additional open time trip on my line to bring me up to 75:36? I'm within the guaranteed line holders for my base too.

If with your vacation hours you hit 75, no.

Contact your transition person

It does not hit 75, even with vacation.

And youre a guaranteed lienholder, not targeted. And you didn't waive default min credit?

If you fall within the "guarnteed line holder" they will make it up to whatever the minimum is (75.whatever). If you fall below that into the target line holder they will give you a reserve day.
