I'll third this.
We are taking deliveries of almost another 100 airbus from now until 2022. Assuming no more orders and no lease returns we will have over 5000 on property in 6-7years. I'm going to assume they will increase that number as well with our CBA. Vacation alone will increase that number by 8-10% along with other work rules.
Just me spitballing again, but I'd say by 2022 we are nearing the 6000 pilot mark. baring any M/A or full nuclear economic meltdown Everyone here today or in the near future should be looking pretty good. But I would not count on any kind of 2-3 year upgrade moving forward.
Getting Boston out of the gates shouldnt be that hard, you'll be in in a few months worst case. Time on RSV is anyones guess. Totally depends on which plane you get... could be years could be months.
goodluck!
