September upgrade class includes FOs with 24 months at the company...

So if your friend at ASA want to bail ship, apparently its just as simple as putting in an application and scheduling a class date.

Those guys that came from the xjet if there still here anymore were either depressed or left within a few months realizing they made a mistake. Almost any place is better maybe even Mesa, at least they fly big new planes.

Thank you in advance for any replies.

Your first line will be 12-13 days off and mid 80s of credit. If you pick up a day trip or a 2 day part of a trip, you'll easily be able to credit over 90. I'm a senior FO and keep 13-15 days off with mid 90s-mid 100s of credit. A friend of mine who got hired within 3 months continually had 14 days off with mid 80s of credit. This was in ORD though.
Since I commute, ORD would be prime for me.
Any ideas or thoughts?
Thanks
