The FACT is the upgrade times at ALL regionals fluctuate. Getting aircraft, losing aircraft, guys being hired by other companies, guys flowing... it all changes in a fluid environment.

To deny that, shows the intent of posts are propaganda.

In that ever changing environment, only envoy can contractualy guarantee that its Captains will be taking 50% of AA new hire spots. How many Captains can Xjet guarantee will be hired by other companies in the coming years. Does Republic know how many of their Captain will get other jobs? No one can know. Its all speculation. But I can look at AA retirement schedule and tell you that half of those guys will be replaced by envoy Captains ensuring that the current upgrade will continue to drop.
