What are the most junior captain dates from other CRJ bases? I just read DTW is the most junior at 2.5 years. What about your other CRJ bases?

It has to go down with all the people leaving and all the planes going to Skywest. The dynamics of who upgrades will change. Once it gets down to the point where the FOs don't have 1000 part 121 time then FOs with prior 121 time will move right to the top. There is a good chance guys with experience will go to captain from the street while the senior FOs get their 1000 hours in. There are a lot of captains at other regionals who would leave to go to Skywest if they could hold captain quickly. Many would be pretty stupid not to.

It's only 2.5 because of opening DTW. Next month it will be back above 3

It'll keep dropping until DTW stops expanding.

The only reason it's dropping is because senior people are waiting to see what the flying is like in dtw. I would have been 40% on the last bid.

It will start coming back up as more senior FO's see they can hold a descent line.

No one knows where our 700's are going or if they will have homes at all. That is 52 airframes and talk about killing those upgrade hopes.
