A long time.
Upgrades and attrition drive movement too, not just growth.
I'd assume you're in SFO which has been hit hard by the loss of the UA700's. I'd also assume you were not around for the slow death of the bro. Same story, different names. Bid the 175 in SF or upgrade in the mid-west, but staying put in an aircraft being downsized in that market will continue to yield similar results.
West Coast is going to the 175, the CRJ is going to the Mid-West. This shouldn't be a surprise to anyone.
