Play devils advocate. Assume not one single guy comes through the doors... Our whole list still flows to AA inside of 6 years.
now play reality; the places with realistic upgrades are getting pilots. Places like ours where the upgrades are NOT because of growth will continue to have upgrades while the others stop. Where would you rather be?
an upgrade in 18-30 months once you have the mins, where you know the upgrades will continue behind you so you don't spend your life on reserve, and that you will flow to AA with no interview at all in uder 6 years.
OR
an upgrade in 18-24 months once you have the mins, where you HOPE they'll hire enough behind you before the growth stops so that you won't be stuck on reserve forever. That once the growth stops, so does the quick upgrades, and then so does the new hires.
