Yes. I would say your chances are good with your qualifications but people have applied for years before getting the call. Internal recommendations seem to help as well.

Make sure your rec goes into Crew Corner and follows the directions for submitting a recommendation. It'll be on the left side under "Recommend a New Crewmember."

New seniority list out. Roughly the same amount of pilots. Currently a 9 year upgrade...

Meanwhile, I've moved up 43 numbers in 6 months... It would seem the major movement is on the FO side. Go figure.

The current 9 years to upgrade will certainly NOT apply moving forward unless there is significant expansion. The constant hiring over the last several years has been mostly folks at the younger end of the spectrum. A new hire now may not see upgrade for more than 15+ years, possibly significantly longer.

Of course, the attrition numbers to other carriers will have a big impact as well.

I was actually going to say the opposite. That might be true if people were sticking around here as a career gig, but with the current movement, I don't see 15+ being accurate...

I agree...15+ years to upgrade is not likely, I think it'll be about half that.

If every junior FO leaves it doesn't increase upgrade time. 1000 pilots now. 517 is the junior Captain. 30 retirements a year. I'm not good at math but that's a long time to upgrade. Assuming no growth of course.
