Thanks.

(I say normal), because there is some shuffling going on in the training dpt. We are out of airbus and going to PanAm I think..this plus the fact that we only have 3 more buses coming, 1 soon 2 in the fall may change upgrades and hiring a bit.

(but nothing is written in stone here)

20 more buses from the first order, 75 (minus the old 19s)...should put us around, (conservative numbers, and I dont have any kind of insight whatsoever), 50-70 UG a yr every yr till the last delivery.

Right now I think we are on MAR or APR 07 most jr CA. (keep in mind that we didnt hire past JUN or JUL 08 till 2010.

I think under 4.5 years for UG and shrinking...=)

Like I said there is a lot more info in (Spirit of NKS) with comments from guys that know a lot more.

3 yr fo is 66.38 or 73.12 hr avg 80 hr a month
5 yr ca is 115.00 or 136.00 avg 72 hr (rsv)

(I dont how accurate this is, since the rates change after DOS)

I just started my 5 yr here, im getting 82 hr.

Bottom line, its a great time to get in, at least for the next 4 yrs.
