True, they won't ask about it in the interview. But when asked "do you have any questions for us?", a savvy applicant would be wise to have something better than "How long till I upgrade?"

Skip the article if it's boring. But keeping tabs on the industry is a great idea. This thread has a tendency to become an echo chamber, so a dose of realism now and then is good for us as well. Lots of us have come from other airlines that thought they were the greatest thing since sliced bread, and they were - for a while. The problem: how long is a while?
