How ling had you been at an airline in 99-01?
I was hired at Eagle in 99. I was awarded SF3 captain 9/4/01. Guys in my time frame were actually debating whether or not to wait for RJ captain since we would probably still be in a seat lock if we took a prop upgrade.
While that has no bearing on the future flow through, comparing it to the past is apples vs oranges
If there was no 9/11, I can't give you a reason or hypothetical guess as to what would have happened. Also, I wasn't at an airline in 99-01.
What is fact though is that the company metered the flow in recent years for their own purposes. ALPA had to file a grievance. The company lies and can't be trusted and they are purposely selling this 6 year flow to get cheap new hires in the door.
