Depending on who you talk to re: preojections vs time on property etc. for some people it has been and will be, for other people not so much.

Example: Piedmont pilots with two years on property today are projecting only having another 2-2.5 years until they flow based on attrition and increases flow #s AFTER they got on property. Someone 2 years on property at Envoy today has longer than 2-2.5 years until flow. New Hires at PDT today will most likely have a longer flow than 4-4.5 years due to the number of people ahead of them and their flow being approx 10% of the pilot group per year.

Both Companies are advertising approximatelt a 5 year flow for new hires. I would personally do career planning based on a 7 year flow.
