My guess is a year and half to get 1000 on average. You guys kinda went gangbusters jan-feb. So basically, is it forecast to back up a little by mid to late summer? Not saying the upgrade is going away, just wondering what the forecast is
Yes, probably some time summer/early fall.
There are still some bypassing that are qualified and don't want to sit on reserve. Then the 1000 hour guys will hit. There's maybe a couple hundred of them.
We're doing about 30 upgrades/month.
