The most upgrades I've seen at one time was for this most recent PHL bid...but if they did that every 2 months until they hit you...it would STILL be over 2 years. Not to mention there's just not that many 170 Sims....
Anyone hired after Aug 2006 is looking around AT LEAST a 2.5 year upgrade and getting longer (bottom of the list I would estimate 3 years or longer). I'd bet my training contract on it
Yes there are 750 people in front of me. Subtract the 70 J4J guys so now I'm at 680. Attrition is averaging around 30 a month. Might stay that way or it might not. You stated the biggest upgrade you've seen. You're assuming the company doesn't grow any in the future with that. It could keep going like this or it could shrink. We could become our own airline and need to staff even more planes. Too many variables. So statements like "it looks like 4-5yrs" are invalid. There is nothing yet to confirm something. The only thing that's factual are the current numbers and they say upgrades will be hitting around 2-2.5yrs. I wasn't speaking on what it would be like 4-5years from now. That's impossible.
