Touché. I think with the numbers I am seeing, the time to upgrade is going to decline pretty steadily here in the next few years. Right now, the AirTran guys are the lump in the upgrade snake. Plenty of them will bypass for various reasons. Once we get past that lump, take a look at the seniority numbers. Not many guys hired between 2008-2013. Of course, previous bypassers will upgrade in the fall after vacation bids so there is that too.
