LOL, it's actually 20 months and dropping. You could be a line-holding captain in under 2 years. MSP and ORD can be held in just over 2 years. West coast ERJ will likely drop under 3 years shortly.

Envoys projected 2.5 year upgrade is more like 6.5 Look at their standing bid. The flow is a joke.

Go jet is hiring street captains and then paying them FO pay in lovely Detroit. So if you want to go to Detroit go to Gojet.

Skywest is 3 years according to their last standing bid if upgrading on the 200.

PDT is a solid 2 year upgrade but their future is questionable. They are so ecstatic to be receiving 30 year old jets. Rumors of a merger with PSA are in the air.

Sky west is liquidating Express jet daily. You will see them go under shortly.

Air Wisconsin, great airline but their future has been unstable for 3 years. Who knows what will happen with them.

Compass and Rjet is dropping flying left and right. Compass stopped its hiring due to loosing 9 ejets.

To each their own. We all make career decisions for our own reasons.

As previously stated, most of what you said, if not all ... is incorrect. As far as GoJet goes. DEC's are payed CA pay from day 1 in indoc. Never, at any point will you be on FO pay. However, DTW is the most junior base, so the chances of getting assigned DTW out of training is likely.

So their website is incorrect? Trying to get to bottom of this.

I don't think AWAC is poised for growth aren't they just taking the aircraft they currently operate for AA and turning them into UA birds. Correct me if I'm wrong.

No the website is correct. You are looking at the seniority list not the awards. The latest awards have been below 2 years

Here is some research to back this up

Express jet comment: https://worldairlinenews.com/tag/expressjet-airlines/

With no plans to replace the CRJ200s


Air Wisconsin uncertainty: News Room - ALPA

They recently inked a deal with united that will extend 200 flying however united has the right to pull those planes at any time. Read the agreement and what the union put out. Its known as a "patch".
Plus everyone knows that with a pilot shortage and the economy growth the 200 years are numbered.


Compass airlines: has stopped hiring. Call their recruitment team and ask. They are still accepting resumes but are not running classes right now. Originally announced 9 Ejets to be pulled. So far only 6 have been pulled.


Envoy upgrade times from their website:
DFW: Jan 2011 (E175), Feb 2011 (E145)
ORD: Feb 2011 (CRJ), Jan 2011 (E145)
LGA: Apr 2011 (E145)

But they are selling a 2.5 year upgrade. Numbers dont lie



.

Do your own research

I don't agree with your reasoning. From where we stood at the start of this year we are adding 26 airframes to revenue ops.

How the heck do aircraft never on property factor in? Want to throw in the c series too? Totally irrelevant.
