L-XJT:
Not sure what half truth you are trying to throw out, but lets get some facts behind the info you are putting out there. No pilots were hired between Nov 2007 and Jan 2011. That is only 3 years and 2 months. It will only drop a big whopping 3 years.
If the 2011 new hire were to be awarded upgrade today, he would still be a 6 year upgrade. That is NOT going to happen for another year at least. There are still over 70 people until I upgrade and I was in the last 2007 class. That is a very large number to upgrade considering we are only upgrading ~6 each bid and we have only had 5 bids for the 2017 year.
Most of you guys are smart enough to do your own math. Just don't let someone from recruiting at XJT get you with fuzzy math
.
I still can't figure out why anyone would go to XJT right now with a 33,000 / year pay when they could be making 60,000 somewhere else with fast (2-3 year) upgrades.
