And if I'm reading BeatNavy correctly, I would most likely get a line within 3-6 months? That wouldn't be to bad at all.
Most junior PHX FO was hired in Aug 2015. Most junior lineholder was hired in Mar 15. So, it looks more like 6 months to hold PHX at all, and about a year to hold a line. But that's looking at it today. What happens in the future could be very different. As far as upgrading goes, you can forget PHX unless you plan to stay at Mesa for 10+ years.
