There will continue to be attrition but most of the Captains will stay. I think upgrade time for a current new hire will be closer to 7 years without company growth. I'm at 3.25 years right now and I know I won't be able to hold Captain in another 15 months. They probably hired 150 people in those 15 months... I bet it's another 2 years for me. Maybe more.
