Yes it did. I dont expect it to stay like that for long. The 4 year guy who got the bus was hired very near the beginning of this 3-4 year hiring spree. There has been 1000 new pilots added to the list since he was hired. Those getting hired now will need significantly more growth to make CA than he did.
As we take pretty much nothing but airbus for the next few years I expect the airbus upgrade will creep up as all the FOs choosing to wait on an airbus slot or line get their chance.
The 190 upgrade will probably continue to be lower but again 900 new pilot slots added since the most junior 190 CA was hired.
My point is those hired today will have a different experience than those hired 3-4 years ago.
