I feel for the guys waiting for their command upgrades, I have flown with most of them and can say they are in the right seat only because they are still waiting for the course.
However I do not agree with all that has been said here.
I believe and these are only my thoughts that the company planned for upgrade courses last year (and Jerry past this news onto the guys waiting).
But Air Atlanta´s requirement changes rapidly and so does their ability to offer command upgrades.
This summer was impossible because of the amount of pilots that had to be trained.
since the 767´s joined Air Atlanta they upgraded around 16 first officers, and would have upgraded more this summer if they had the resources to do so.
Out of those 16 only 1 was Icelandic.
I say again, I feel for the guys waiting, the AAI market has changed and your turn has been put back again, But AAI is expanding a great deal and the future looks very good for you.
Maybe next year will be your year, I hope so
