Agreed, impossible unless we grow 20+ percent, which isn't going to happen.
The upgrades that came out yesterday have an average over 6 years, with 12 of the 32 awarded being hired during 2007 or earlier. And with every upgrade there is, there will be a certain percentage that won't leave SkyWest. Thus, the lifer pool percentage increases and average upgrades over time will increase.
