And it's under roughly 200 since then.
It will go fast after they get through the 2011 hires. Even at 35% of each class there aren't a lot of guys in front of somebody getting hired now.
Kinda like getting hired at PSA just before they got more planes. A long upgrade went down to almost nothing.
Exactly. That's what I've been saying all along. When they came up with these projections that show a 2.5 year upgrade and s 6 year flow, it wasn't just out of thin air. There's actually math behind it and a rational explanation of the numbers.
Couple that with the massive amount of retirements over the next decade and voila. There's your 2.5/6. I'm sure we would all like to turn back the clocks, but as I've said before. Unless somebody discovers the fountain of youth, it's a great time to be an Envoy pilot right now.
