I hope you guys aren't thinking of upgrading in a year or two. After SLI upgrade will look more like 3-4yrs. There's 3-5yr Fo's chopping at the bit for that 4th stripe on the 9e side. Many Im sure will transfer to Q maybe even the Saab.

No offense, but how dumb do you think we are? Why would you assume that we're all looking for some miracle upgrade? Read my post a page or two back. The captain in my interview took 4 years to upgrade in the Q. I can't see any reason to believe that number would decrease now that it's a list of thousands instead of hundreds. Even with the Q options remaining I think 4 years is where you set the over/under. I know there's a lot of foolish idealism by newbies here, but I can speak for myself at least when I say that just because this is my first 121 gig doesn't mean I haven't been around the block enough to know how it works. I think upgrade times everywhere will be on the way down over the next 5 years, but name any place with a 2 year upgrade these days. It doesn't exist.

The good news is that the FO pay scale is now livable enough to tolerate a 4+ year upgrade.

Thank you, seriously

Don't worry about him, he is negative in every post that he has. He is a FO that has been there for a while and apparently knows everything. Seems seniority isn't the only thing he thinks he has up on us.

It might seem the more appropriate congratulatory 40 upon completing OE would be...well, some OE800.

Thanks, I'm here all week.

He hasn't been there for a while. If you read his previous posts, you will be surprised about what he had to say about Colgan. He posted a bunch of negative stuff about Colgan, calling it "bottom feeder" and the next "Mesa". A month later he applies and gets hired. I am curious to know what he said at the interview when asked "Why do you want for Colgan?".
