Upgrade time is roughly 28 months right now. Per my friend's hire date who started upgrade training on Monday.
I expect upgrade to drop to 18 months or less within a year. There are many months that only have a couple of FOs that still need to upgrade. For instance, look between June 2015 and June 2016. Once we get through the early 2015 hires, upgrade time will drop like a rock.

Thanks TallFlyer

Not going to lie... I kind of like it when someone posts a well produced graph with real data to back up my post. That is something that rarely happens in the real world, and never happens on APC.

I believe that the Oct and Nov 2014 FO's are in upgrade training now, or will be in the next few weeks.

What was the date on this dataset?

Your statement about the lack of FOs for certain time periods piqued my curiosity, and we all know what happens when that happens....

The graph is based on the February seniority list.

By the looks of the graph we're hiring more then in '14??? I thought '14 was the huge hiring spree.

That graph is just FOs. The majority of those that were hired in 2014 and 2015 are already Captains. They either upgraded immediately due to previous 121 time or were DEC's.

Plus, a lot of those hired in 2014 and 2015 already have moved on to LCC's or majors.

Ah ok it's straight off the 2017-02 list. Apologies, my mistake.
