I can't confirm this, but I saw this information posted by someone else...

The way it’s broken down is if you come with 500-800 hours it’s a 18 month contract as a captain. 800-1200 hours is 15 months. 1200+ hours is 12 months.

I believe this starts after you upgrade to captain and that you are eligible to upgrade once you hit 1200 hours.

I have been trying to confirm this, but have not had any luck yet.

Captains require a full ATP at 1500TT. That is when your contract starts.

How long on average does it take people to go from 500 to 1500 hours at Cape?

Eh, depends. 70-100 is pretty average, some do more if their base isn’t full and they are able to pick up extra days.

The ones doing 120/month are picking up extra shifts. Not everyone is able to do that, especially in the outstations.

So is there a pay upgrade at 1200, or does that happen at 1500/CA as well?

Thanks again
