If they get upgrade times that low, there's really no difference between a new hire and a street captain.
If that happens again I just might come back...maybe...possibly.

I don't know.

No but they are hiring more sim instructors and qualifying more check airmen. Take it FWIW.

Yeah. I interviewed for the Sim Instructor job. K2 told me he really wanted me for a ground instructor instead. I said no, politely of course. But I wanted to teach sim, not ground. So I'll just sit and wait for an upgrade. I'm number 30 on the list to upgrade, just a matter of time.

My brother had a class date from TSA and ExpressJet, I told him to go to Express. Wish he had gone to TSA, he would have been a captain now. This was early 2013
