In times of great movement (at the bottom) like we are finally seeing, that can sometimes get skewed a bit, but in general, once the dust settles, you will move up faster on the junior equipment, as those above you will move to the higher paying stuff.
Thanks, I guess I should have phrased it differently. Is there a way to find out how long I can expect to wait before holding a line in a given aircraft? From a previous post, I recall a 6 month or so wait to hold a line in the 73NG vs maybe 2 months in the 717. I'm wondering to what extent that will change with 757 retirements and if anyone has any info on what the wait time might be for the 320 in ATL.
