I guess they aren't lying, but it's not going to stay at 2.5 years.
I'm planning on 6 years to upgrade - so 5 more years to go for me.
Anyone get the wierd feeling you're missing something by not writing in the aircraft maintenance log if nothing needs to be written up on the planes with the new AML?
The 'current' delivery/upgrade seniority number does not support your premise. A pilot hired today will be 5.5-6 years, 3.5-4 tops for a guy hired a year ago.
Unless we do something really dumb, like allow PBS on the property.
