On the positive side, the bacon cheeseburger at the STS airport restaurant is the best burger I've eaten anywhere in the world. Seriously!!

CA upgrade hit new record - 1 year 8 months, few end of June 2015 newhires get awarded. Looks like at this point significant amount get bypassed by the lack of 1000 part 121 hours or total 2500 flight hours.
Fun times...

I just had two people I know text me saying they were awarded an upgrade and lack the 1,000 SIC. Things are about to get interesting.

yea, I guess company can waive 2,500 total fixed wing requirements,
but 1,000 SIC or part 135 PIC are in the FARs §121.436(3), there is no way company will waive that.

Training will send them a questionnaire, if you do not meet the requirements the award will be pulled.

Can't...STS is in Oakland Center's airspace and you need to be in approach control airspace the entire time on a TEC.

The other option is just putting everyone on the STS Airporter (the bus), which anyone in their right mind would use anyways.
