From the seniority list we have averaged 30/month since May: some not included in that number possibly left or washed out of training. Upgrade is just under 4 years. They don't publish who left, but a guy on the union board posts a fairly accurate snapshot which has averaged around 30/month the past 3 months- those numbers include new hires being removed, which is a couple.

A lot remains to be seen post bankruptcy. There won't be any additional flying announced until that point and there are still some 170's parked that need to be sorted out in bankruptcy court. The first part of 2017 will be telling as we will hopefully be out of bankruptcy, all the pilots will be on one certificate, and it should be organic upgrades once all the 145 CA's transfer over. I believe there are also some United 175's that are supposed to be delivered at some point, but maybe someone else has a better idea on that.
