Now, if you could tell me what there fleet size will be 5-8 years from now, well, then you'd be Kit Darby. Point being hopefully adding airframes over the short term is a good sign of things to come.
You asked the question on here, I gave the answer. Sure you're not looking to get hired 5 years ago but if you're going to think about going there you need to know that this is a tired song that that management group at TSA loves to sing in the interview. The song doesn't sound so pretty when you're 4 weeks into class, the growth falls through and you're scrambling to find a job because they just sent you home. It has happened before, and will happen again. If the contract isn't signed, it probably isn't going to be.
My advice, don't chase the fast upgrade. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, you just screwed yourself into spending the next 5 years broke.
