I think for anyone hired today to realistically plan on anything less than a ten year upgrade is just being optimistic. That is planning on ONLY planned growth and KNOWN attrition.

I believe it will be shorter than that but it simply cant be taken into the equation that its a fast upgrade here. When I was hired at my regional it was a less than a year upgrade....for the guys who had been there a little less than a year. It was closer to 3 for the guys who were hired after that point.
Don't go making sense about newhire upgrades on a pilot message board. You're preaching to the same people that look at the time enroute on the FMS in cruise at .79M and telling that arrival time to the passengers. Never mind the fact that you'll have to slow and descend.
