true someone who started 7 years ago got the big screw. But why I posted this was to show people who are looking into their future and not present time, how times are changing at eagle. Those 45 slots don't include the numbers we moved up due to senior FOs leaving which also gets you closer to upgrade.
someone just starting has about 1400 people ahead of them to upgrade. Lets say minus 300 flowback spots which should bring you to 1100

each upgrade can represent a captain leaving or an FO ahead of you in seniority leaving. It's fairly reasonable that you can expect at least 30 people senior to you to leave each month.

so with 1100 people to go through...
15 upgrades/FOs ahead of you leaving each month is about 6 years for an upgrade
30 a month is 3 years
45 a month is 2 years

only time will tell
I don't think it's reasonable to expect anything less than 3 years with the current numbers. That is still more than most places.
