Quote: I'd say around the 6 month mark is a realistic timeframe to upgrade. Other than guys moving over to the Excel, I personally haven't seen many people leave. I am West coast based though. It might be a different story out East.
Either way, you won't have to count on attrition to upgrade. They're just getting ready to start accepting the next round of King Airs with the Fusion avionics installed & they're going to need lots of guys to fly them.
I assume pilots will be trained on both PL21 & Fusion and eventually the KA fleet will be entirely Fusion equipped - correct?
