3 years right now, with no guarantee it will drop. Some speculate that it will come down by nature because the number of those hired from 3 years to 2 years to 1 year is very small. So if we upgrade more than 8 per month it may come down to 2ish years, but that means that we need more FO's to come here, make it through to the line, aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand stick around for more than 6 to 8 months.
Then there is the issue of being stuck in MKE for god knows how long because you will never hold IAD captain and will be eternally jr in ORD as a captain. But if you love good new mgmt is looking into another crew base, so you got that. No shortcuts for those with prior 121 time.
