These are not the best of times yet. Delta has no growth and minimal attrition off the widebody Capt positions. Narrowbodies have incredible growth. In a couple years when the 350s and 330s arrive simultaneously with high retirement attrition, the best of times will have arrived. I think we'll see NYC717 or 88A drop to the 3 year mark.
AA and UAL may have more widebodies but neither are hiring 1000+.
