Upgrade Times
Just curious what the typical upgrade times from FO to PIC at different regionals seem to be right now?

It is about 5 years, 7 months at ExpressJet, but will probably increase to about 6 years before it drops down again.

Upgrade time no longer matters because you're in one of 3 groups.
1) Already have your "majick" 1000 and are already upgraded
2) Are about to upgrade and will just barely have enough time to get your 1000
3) Won't even have time to get your 1000 after you upgrade (if you even do) before you are hired by a major.
This is only a slight joke.

CommutAir is sitting at about 3 years or so, but because of a dry hiring spell, has the possibility to be down almost overnight to about 1.5 - 2 years later this year depending on how many upgrade classes occur. This is one of the shorter ones I've heard. The longest is most definitely Comair, after the downgrades, it's estimated at 20 years or so.

AFAIK, the May/June upgrade class was a mix of the 3 years and the 1.5 year guys, so it's dropped already.
