what are they currently *saying* is the estimated flow time? what is the *realistic* flow time?!
I know some will say that you might get to a major quicker just interviewing from the street… but I'd hate to be stuck at my current regional 5 years from now, still not hired anywhere, and realizing I could've flowed and never gave myself that opportunity.
I'm 41 now, fwiw. A flow in 5-6 years could mean a nearly 20 year career at mainline..
tick-tock..
