NK upgrade running about 2.5 years give or take a few months.
For how long?, well we have about 60 ac, planing on 140 by 2021 or so...(15 pilots per ac). As of now. All schedule deliveries on the NK site, investors relations.
Yup.
Rough math. 143 aircraft planned by year end 2021. 15 pilots per plane is 2145 pilots. Assume 55/45 CA/FO mix so 1180 captains aprox.
Over the next 7 years, few retirements. Guess retirements and early leaves to call for 120. So that's 1300. Last new hire class takes us close to 1100 pilots. Rough math would suggest there is about a year left to get in on an upgrade prior to 2021.
