If I took a closer look I think I've moved "up" 50+ numbers in 2.5 years...
Those getting hired for the NEO expansion will be FO's for a long time (provided we are not bought, sold, merged)
Anyone on the list now "should" be either a junior NEO/717 Cpt, or senior widebody FO by 2020ish. With the next contractual pay increase it will be better to be an FO than it is currently.. $$$$ wise
Could be worse....
This is all assuming everything remains as scheduled
