Yeah...what's the sense in upgrading in 6 months, anyway? That doesn't get one to a major any quicker than a regional with a 2 year (during periods of insane growth and attrition) upgrade. Ask the guys who've had their regional upgrade stretch past 5 years (plenty of those) about this one.
Things will stay the way they are right now for a really long time, so we can count on 2 year jet upgrades at most of the regionals indefinitely. After all, this is the airline business, right?
