New guy here trying to learn...
A recent post in the AA section recommended that if you're interested in international flying then you should try to get to Delta or United vs. American. However, these numbers seem to show that's not the case. Seniority numbers for AA and Delta are about the same for wide body FO and CA, but projected turnover at AA means you'd get there faster at AA than at Delta.
In any case, it looks to me like a new hire at AA could be a wide body FO in 3-4 years or a narrow body CA at 4-5 years. Widebody CA is of course harder to predict but it seems to me that a new guy could be getting close in 15 years or so.
Am I interpreting that right?
