Absolutely drives me to the point where I almost beat my kid And punch myself in the face. It is so aggravating.

I'm talking about 13 days off vs 11 if you home study on your own time under this new loa.

That's exactly why we should be bidding for those days and they should not count as days off.

That's because everyone who just upgraded previously bypassed. The most junior captain in the company is probably flying the line already and he was hired 7/12. What's that, 2 years, 7 months?

At 6 CUGs a month, it will be a lot longer than 2yrs 10 months. Are there plans to accelerate these classes anytime soon?

Don't look at a micro number like the
CUG currently and project it out on a macro scale.

Look at the delivery schedule and staffing model and you'll have a better estimate.

It's clear we are just heavy on CAs currently, based on the number of FOs being hired vs CUG for the next month and the last few.

It will begin to trend up. Guys hired this year are looking at 2020 upgrades based on that delivery schedule. I had a new ground instructor tell me be thinks he is in line for a 2.5 year upgrade, after he does his 2 years in the schoolhouse. Yeah, not going to happen.
