At present (right now) upgrading will take awhile as there is no upgrade program in the TCM.

Obviously this will get done, but a question of when remains. The current Captains coming in are quite experienced.

The posted chart is for hiring DEC.

I personally know first hand people being hired DEC without either anytime on transport category time or turboprop over 44000 lbs. only light jet time.

Likewise, but what is the breakdown of their overall experience. The chart posted is the internal upgrade matrix for when on property. Initial hires have a different requirement.

I guess it’s possible. We aren’t unionized so this is all just guidelines really. Also, it could help to know a few people.

And yes, this is for FOs upgrading to captain. Not outside hires

Every one I've met or flown with that came from business aviation has at least 4500 hours if not plenty more, greater than 1000 hours jet PIC, and significant experience with current and future routing.

From what I heard, none of the business aviation fellas struggled with adapting to airline life or training.

If you are E2 FO you would have jet time. I don’t understand your question.

Is this capt_z under a different name?

I meant without PIC jet time, in the requirements it says you need 500 pic jet or 1000 pic turbojet…….. if you don’t meet those 2 can your experience on the E2 over see those?

You’d need 3000 TT and 1500 hours on type. See chart above. The bottom line. But yes you can upgrade from E2 FO to E2 captain without jet pic

I did forget to mention that at the present moment, there isn’t a TC approved upgrade command course for the E2. It is being developed however

Sorry to keep asking you questions. but is it roughly the same idea for Q400 FO to captain in terms of the hours and such.

Yes you can upgrade on the DH8. There is some differences but you can upgrade.

How many hours you have?

These are the requirements to upgrade from q4 FO to captain:

The minimum qualifications to upgrade from Dash 8-400 First Officer to Dash 8-400 Captain are as follows (either Option may be applied):
a) Option A - Minimum 2000h PIC AND 500 hours on type (Dash 8); or
b) Option B – 3500 hours total time AND 500 hours on type (Dash 8) and one of the following:
• Minimum 750 PIC; or
• Minimum 500 hours Multi Engine Turbine PIC.


Keep getting those hours. You’re still a ways away from upgrading, including simply writing the ATPLs unless you did integrated course. I wouldn’t worry too much about captain upgrade requirements yet if I were you.

You’re worrying about the wrong things at 300 Hrs. Worry about getting the right hours for the ATP, then an upgrade.

300hrs is a long ways off from an upgrade at everyone but Jazz. Yes Porter has PICUS.
