Upgrades are not happening at 1000. As someone else stated, expect 2 years at least, IF we start upgrading again anytime this year, IF the company can somehow stem attrition from the FO side, and IF we don't defer anymore aircraft deliveries.
No way will flow be 6 years. They tried to tell me that lie as well. It's simple math, nearly 1200 pilots, flow is 5 per month (except June and July when it's 2) so 60 a year. That's 20 years. Let's double the 60 a year for other attrition. 120 a year. Still 10 years, not 6. Heck lets triple it for the sake of fairy tales. That's 180 a year. Still 6.7 years.
Recruiters live in a world of lies and imagination. Be very careful before you accept their koolaid and promises of a spaceship ride.
