The people saying 5-6 year upgrade on the 74 are delusional. The most recent junior upgrades on the 74 have been here almost 6 years. A few years ago the upgrade was 3.5 years on the 74. The vast majority of resignations are in the FO ranks. The upgrade will continue to go up and probably end up in the 8-10 year range on the 74 for people hired today.

Plan about 5 years. Someone gave some pretty good figures just before this post. Between now and then the world, company and industry can change in some pretty dramatic ways. I'm just chiming in to remind y'all that upgrades can go long and short without much notice, so setting expectations around upgrade times can lead to some frustrations.

JFk to ANC commute
Thanks everyone in advance your answers here so far have been very helpful.
Is there a way to see frequency of atlas flights between JFK and ANC
Domestic gateway flights ie between JFK and ANC are in what class of seats if travelling commercial.

Yes you will accrue miles with every airline that you are a loyalty member with and will rack up some serious status if you tend to gateway on one carrier. You will then be eligible for upgrades (or use your miles to upgrade) like a normal passenger.

I’ve been seeing recent reviews for some who I presume are Atlas pilots dumping on Marriott properties for not awarding them points or stay credits because the rooms were paid for via corporate account. One of the “perks” being advertised was being able to keep hotel points. Can anyone there now confirm?

The upshot is our hotels seem to be averaging to a decent level. So our union, company and subcontractor seem to have figured out a decent way to make things work. We'll complain about some things, but we're not in places like the 5 Towns anymore.
