In the bid 2? months ago I was 150 #s from 747 capt. At 30 pilots retiring per year, I figured 5 more years to upgrade, maybe a bit less.

Now I'm 60 #s from upgrade. I was pretty surprised to find that I moved up 90 numbers in 2 months...what I thought would take 3 years...

10 more 747 capt bids out very soon is what we just heard...
