The good news is pilots are still leaving off the top of the list, we are getting some 170's back, and this United deal looks promising. I think it's realistic upgrades will be around or slightly below 3.5 years in the next year or so. After that is anyone's guess, but there is a small gap in the seniority list between 2013 and 2014 when we weren't an attractive place to be. If (that's a big if) the movement picks up even more, then it could potentially drop even lower, but there were a bunch of people hired post contract in 2015-2016
