I'm too darn lazy to look up the exact number on SWOL but upgrade is running just over 4 years, give or take a few months. Of course, that can all change in the blink of an eye...

... And be prepared, as the junior CRJ CA, to sit endless reserve in MSP. On the 175, endless reserve in ORD.

The junior captain in my upgrade got a line in MSP within 3-4 months. ORD slightly longer.

Ummmm. You do realize reserve is almost nonexistent in MSP? 175 is a different story currently.

I stand corrected. I'm a West Coast guy... Did my time commuting to ORD reserve, and escaped to sunnier climates.

Just a guess but the 35+ 175's being delivered in the second half of this year are about to shake things right up.

According to Virginia I'm about 100 away so I'm guessing end of summer early fall, that would be about 2.5 ish years. How many upgrades are we running a month 20?

What? You mean the upgrade time when you got hired does not equate to when the upgrade actually happens? Wowza, I need to sit down. Amazering. Anyone have a Tylenol?

You seriously ask for a letter of recommendation when riding in someone's jumpseat?
