yeah I work 4 on 3 off and if you bid right you can get a line that the first flight is at 5 am you fly 6.5 hours with 3 landings and you are done by 1:30 in the afternoon. awsome
they don't hire into the left seat and won't upgrade on seniority but on performance
we have had some upgrades in 8 months and some will never upgrade
the average i think is around 4 years
if you start in the 135 system flying saratogas and caravans you upgrade quicker
we have a guy who started in the saratoga and caravan then went left seat SAAB with no twin time
they look for skill and judgement
if you can't cut it in the right seat they let you go they won't have right seaters that are lifers
great place

I know what you are talking about. What I was refering to the fact that its been a few years since we've taken a new guy off of the street with whatever great credentials and let them jump seniority to upgrade. (We did it with several pilots when Reeve went under, and none of those guys are still here.)
