Where your based has no bearing on upgrade. System wide seniority is what matters. If I had to guess, I would estimate 3-5 years if all the aviation stars are aligned just right!

This is probably a pretty good estimate. Assuming you take the first available upgrade regardless of equipment or base.

weird when I asked the CA during my interview, he said it would depend on domicile. he said it could be as low as 12-18 months at the most junior bases, or as high as 2-3 years at the most senior bases, but of course it was all speculative. 3-5 years seems high to me for this company, are you basing this on the new SLI?

What? According to our DO color of uniforms is on the lower end of things to be addressed. Either way the company will have to supply the blazer and one pair of pants. Personally, I think the black and gold looks much sharper.

As far as upgrade being based on domicile that's not quite how it works... For example, the most senior FO at EWR may not be able to hold a line at IAH (just an illustration, no idea on how senior each base is). The bottom line is seniority has everything to do with while domicile has nothing. The 3-5 year upgrade figure would be nice, but that could also mean one year and furloughed because none of us have any clue what the brainiacs in the front office are dreaming up.
Take it with a grain of salt and hope for the best, plan for the worst. My .02, I wouldn't have left my current gig and jumped back on board if I didn't think things were looking good. You'll either learn to be flexible with this industry, or you'll leave it for "greener" pastures.
