Upgrade: If you were hired just under 3 years ago from today, now's your time. For a perspective applicant like you, it depends on future growth since we don't have many retirements, but every day you delay submitting that application pushes you back even more.
And if you're asking when you can hold upgrade in Dallas, who knows what it'll be like by the time your individual upgrade comes along. No one could predict that with a shred of accuracy.

My FO pulls up the class B chart and finds that he may have been technically correct about his position in relation to the Bravo but his tone on the radio was self righteous and condescending.
So my FO and I then park at our gate, walk to the hotel pickup spot and there he is. I say “damn you really gave it to that controller.” He then goes into this diatribe about how he’s out here having to protect his certificate on a daily basis and no one meets his expectations of professionalism.
