What do you all think will happen to upgrade times at UPS moving forward with these new orders plus retirements? Can we expected significantly shortened upgrades? Or can new joiners today expect the standard 10 years?
Please consult your crystal ball and let me know what you think.
Considering that right now the most junior Capt is 8/05 hire, and that UPS didn't do a thing since Nov 07 and June 14 I would say it will take a bid of 300+ Capts for a 14 hire to see left seat. Reason for that being that you have 500+ people on property (between 05 and 07) that haven't been afforded the opportunity to see the left seat yet, so they will take first available. Guessing it will be sometime before any 14 or later hire will see Left seat at brown, unless your a manager. Sorry but you asked.
