If I look at things right, from the jr guy from last bid to the jr guy this bid, there are 592 numbers... so for 229 upgrades they went through 592 pilots!
I’m thinking things might back off a bit, but I sure hope not!
I don’t have intel just an opinion but I think most were surprised with this award (777DFW was a eye opener). Now that people see what’s out there for them they might life plan a bit and take a upgrade or try G4 FO. So I’d guess a little bit of a pull back on it (CA or G4 FO) going really junior. But I think that will be temporary. Hopefully we keep it going.
