Upgrade time at Bearskin

Post by MikeLima »

Hi there

A quick question for a current or ex-Bearskin pilot: what is the average upgrade time at the Bear?
I heard some horror stories about waiting for up to 5 years on the right seat before being promoted and just wanted to validate.
Thanks a lot!

Just over a year ago the upgrade time was 2 1/2 - 3 years. With the movement over the past year the upgrade time is under two years at this point. Right now its about 20 months - 2 years.

Upgrades depend a lot on who's hiring in the big leagues. If all the captains get DASH or 737 course dates, "battlefield" upgrades have been known to happen pretty fast.
