One thing I'd add: the best airplane to fly is an airplane that makes money: job security. SkyWest, one of the darlings of the industry, just posted a 14 million and change loss for 2Q2014. Horizons 2Q results weren't stellar, but the airline turned a profit. Playing the "Chase the Upgrade" game works great until your airline folds when you're in upgrade class...
Upgrade currently eight years, eleven months from hire to upgrade class. Not sure where the thirteen year figure came from.
Because that is what it was a year ago. 7 years ago it 4.5. So yea, it has gone down, but not compared to what it was before most of you worked here. Most of the new QX posters only know what it is like now, not how it was before this CPA bull. CPA's exist to control and outsource! Once the name on the side of your plane says something other then your airline's, your days are numbered. Although, you could just be a management lackey posting for recruiting purposes?
