The whole "I-hope-upgrades-don't-drop-because-lack-of-experience" must be a Republic thing. There's a ton of lifers here that seem to be extremely bitter that upgrades are 2.5 years and dropping. Multiple other airlines are upgrading right at 1,000 121 and no one seems to have a problem. I think some of these guys can't let go of the past and they don't want to see younger guys upgrading in half the time they did.
