Would be commuting from the South. Thank you.
About 18-24 months is a safe bet. It may be a little less, but I am not going to promise something that may or may not be true. Some people are guessing that it will get much lower, but I am not sure that is true yet.
As far as DEC's, I don't think so, but who knows. We have been hiring a lot of lateral transfers from other airlines in the
past several months, and they will be able to upgrade when it reaches them. In 2014, we hired DEC's once we ran out of those. We are not there yet.
