May I ask what the average upgrade time is right now at YV? It sounds like with so many lifers in the left seat, YV may not be the best destination for Aviate participants looking to get in, over, out, and to UA in the quickest (and safest) manner possible.

They are hiring direct entry captains. There is no upgrade time.

Right now, upgrade times across the industry are close to an all time low. Heck, even United has DEC's (as scary as that is).

If you were hired 3 years ago, FO were flying like crazy and held a line out of IOE flying 90hrs a month... So upgrade in a little over a year.
Case in point... Anywhere from a year... To years and years.

Changes all the time. Right now the seniority list is essentially frozen with no new hires... So those at the bottom of the list are stuck as reservists for an indefinite time, barely flying. At this rate, years and years.

We do??? Our contract doesn’t allow for a DEC. are new hire pilots being awarded a CA slot, yes. Plus there are many guard rails in place.
No one is coming to UA and becoming a CA right away. Currently they need a minimum of 500hrs as a FO. In the future that can be lowered to 350hrs but with more guard rails.

Looks like Mesa hired almost 10 people into the EJET as FO last month. Funny they are still hiring off the street FO's into the EJET, who end up taking valuable class and sim time, when Mesa has a huge backlog of CURRENT CRJ pilots who didn't even finish EJET training or didnt even START yet. Big lol.
