4 years is incredibly long?
Current upgrade times do not guarantee future upgrade performance. According to APC Southwest is currently at a 10 year upgrade however their projection for a new hire to upgrade is over 20 years. This is because of minimal fleet growth (if they have any right now) and a relatively young pilot group.

If RAH continues to give block hours back to United and continues to have issues hiring then I would expect upgrades to stop or slow down tremendously. Remember, one seniority number is all it takes for a person to upgrade in 3 years and another in 8. Just ask the Envoy guys.

Soon upgrades at XJT are going to go from 8 years to 5 years but that is only due to a full stop in hiring during the recession. That doesn't mean I will upgrade when I hit year 5.

Ultimately PSA is interviewing Direct Entry CAs while RAH currently has a 4 year upgrade. 4 years is a long time.

Why was it taken down before?
Probably because of the TA they reached before.

I'me not a fan of airing dirty laundry in public. While I've no doubt that the pilot group has been genuinely aggrieved in some matters. I am equally certain that they do not possess clean hands with regard to their own actions. This web page is a perfect example. There is some intellectual dishonestly in just about every bullet point.

The way I understand it the company asked the local to take it down as a sign of good faith when negotiations picked up before our TA attempt last year. I guess since the company is beginning to screw us around again, that sign of good faith was pointless, thus up it goes again.

Airing dirty laundry is fine if done properly. Sadly the IBT seems like they want to brute force things rather than being a bit more methodical.

As I recall National took over in the talks for the RAH pilots and ended up producing absolute trash. The Allegiant guys were led down a dark alley with that strike fiasco by the IBT.
 
Not that it matters to me, but why did the Republic pilots go with the Teamsters instead of ALPA?

That's right, I left right after the TA was voted down.
