In the last 9 months 2 captains (two) left for a Alaska. That and the former CP is all the attrition there was on the captain side. And that's because guys and gals who have put in that much time are not leaving for anything less than a major, they are applying to Alaska, FedEx etc. and are willing to wait years and years for their number to come up. No way upgrade time is coming down unless the company expands, but that is not in sight either, talk is cheap though.
Thank you! Glad somebody cleared this up because I was going to call BULL on the 2yr comment but I figured I'd see if any other Ravns caught it....
