Assuming that even 150 of them are captains, that only comes up to roughly 300 upgrades, plus additional outside attrition. Someone hired today has roughly 500 2015 hires in front of them for upgrade. I just don't see 2 year upgrades continuing for people brought on property without significant fleet growth beyond the 14 200's.
I'm not downplaying this place, I'd rather see new hires told the realistic situation than being sold a bill of goods that everyone knows isn't possible.
Only 300 upgrades? That's more than 1/3 of FO's here. How many more could we even train? According to mgt 14ac is all we can handle to grow this year. Getting new a/c isn't the
Problem, don't you see that? It's getting pilots to fly them
