I don't know about upgrade time over there so I can't make an educated guess about that. I have no idea what upgrade time is running there now (I would GUESS longer than ours) and how many aircraft they are actually going to get.
In regards to the pay freeze at Comair, the deal was negotiated so that new hires get their bump to 2nd year pay after their first year is up. When the pay freeze was first proposed, there was immediate outcry that new hires would be stuck at first year pay for two-three years.
Since the pay freeze is in effect until 2007, essentially he is right. If a pilot was hired in July, he will get bumped to 2nd year pay in July '06 and get bumped to 3rd year pay in July '07 (pay freeze over by then).
