The lack of upgrades hopefully won't continue forever. Change tends to happen fast in this industry. But, perhaps I'm too optimistic.
Delta has a base in SLC. Just sayin'. If you went to a FAR 141 undergrad school and a GPA of 3.0 or higher you may be eligible for an interview (it seems this is an unwritten requirement for civilian only candidates).
Zero chance of a less than 10 year upgrade unless a drastic change occurs. Even if all the >65 guys were gone tomorrow, it wouldn't drive many upgrades. 10 year guys (hire of 8/7/07) are still in the bottom 10% of the company (#2249 of #2507).
The idea that somehow things will change and that person will be remotely close to an upgrade in the next 5 years is absolutely insane.
