A VERY high percentage? In that same time, DAL and UAL are retiring 75% and AA 90%!
Let's see, one could be at 60% of 1,000 or so or...10-25% of ten times that. Which one would be a Captain's seat?
Not saying that is the end all, be all, but many on here have discussed the upgrade time vs. the majors. For new hires, upgrades, and the pay, just isn't going to happen for a very long time.
