Good on you if you can navigate those waters while us mere mortals fly the wing. And I mean that; good luck.
I've got the AA blocks checked, but I'm not sure how realistic moving up before the flow is, even for a mil (rotor) guy. That said, my realistic flow time (6-7 years) is what I base all my legacy calculations on. I think I could be at Spirit 3-4 years earlier than I could be at AA, which makes a huge difference in seniority, lifetime pay, and hopefully QOL.
