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.
Another thing I might throw out there. Mesa has a terrible attrition rate. Some months it hits 70 or more. However the farther up the scale you go the more of those are behind you. I was hired at Air Midwest around the 1700 mark after 1.5 years I was sitting around the 1200 mark. Thats 500 in 1.5 years but once you start getting close to the CA's Nobody is jumping ship with only a couple months to go, so that last 100 people can take you as long as the first 500.
Another thing to remember is that by taking the anybase/any equip. upgrade you will likley have to move just to sit RSV. By that time the new a/c will have stopped and you might sit RSV for a year...some other things that are hard to predict. So like I said ppl quit worrying about the upgrade and just go to class.
