If you started about ten years ago, it would be about 10 years. If you started today? Probably less than that. Who knows? Stuff changes bid to bid. It’ll be about 5 years for a new hire to have the same relative seniority as the junior captain in SLC right now. The base will almost certainly look different by then.

I agree with Bluto.
When the base was downsized from 1700 pilots to 500 and flying was given to SkyWest the upgrade was at 18-20 years.
In 2010-2012 - probably around 15.
Now, last AE - most junior CA award was hired in Mar, 2008 (737)
On the projected cat list (1 may 2018):
Most junior ER CA - hired in Jan, 1992
320 - Apr, 2007

Sounds reasonable....my right seat 727 OE went through MSO, BZN and FCA. Great flying and fun layovers, especially after a few Moose Drools.

I finally upgraded after 13 yrs over where I am.
