If your goal is to get PIC time and upgrade DO NOT LEAVE air wisconsin, in fact tell everyone you know to get hired now. Do your purgatory time and get out, these type of windows only occur a few times in career. Timing is everything. "what do you call it when the rumor is true?"

I believe the last capt was hired in 1/12, or something close to that. So still a good long upgrade. I was hired in 11/13 and am around 65 away- how long it takes us to move through 65 pilots is anyone's guess. Captains are definitely getting thin, so an upgrade class should be in the near future. That being said, coming to AWAC right now seems like an odd choice. We still have a decent contract, and a lot of cool rumors though! Until more flying is announced, I wouldn't tell anyone to come here.

They haven't had any upgrades since March. I was told unless more CAs leave, they're not gonna have any upgrades

So FO's are just as valuable as Captain's leaving in terms of getting upgrade times down.

MP and my instructor during the MV, a couple weeks ago, said if most get through this last clas and get on line they will be running an upgrade class. God knows how long it will be before they run another one. I'll probably barely miss it on this one...
