Don't like QX? Leave. There was no secret to the high upgrade time here.

I know this is vague but that was intentional, you guys are smart..What would you do in this situation..

Career suicide is Mesa. QX is a regional that actually treats pilots like people (usually). If you are going to be one of those FO's that whine all the time about upgrade you better not fly with me when I am in the left seat soon.

I'm sure when you come over the Q400 whining will be one of the only things you do? I could hear you now "conditions levers, piece of sh!t" "man the RJ went way faster than this piece of crap" "the RJ this the RJ that" hahahahah "7 legs today, man that sucks" "ahh we have to go through customs 4 times today" and the list goes on and on.. I guess the moral of the story is if you think you wont fly with someone that whines, then you need to go fly solo where it is vfr and smooth air with a good scenary.

Any news on what the plan is over there for hiring this spring/summer? Looks like they are getting rid of as many Q2s as they are picking up in Q4s so no extra seats to fill.
Any info would be appreciated as I would love to fly up there again.
Cheers!
