I believe the flow is a gimmick and can't figure out how they are able to sell it at 6 years when people flowing are from 11 years ago.
It's a bit more complex than just saying the guys flowing today were hired 11 years ago so the guys hired today will flow in 11 years. Those that were hired at the end of 2016 and beginning of 2017 will probably actually see a 5.5 to 6 year flow. Those hired prior to that and after that will have longer flow unless you believe we'll see more attrition than what we've had so yeah, 5.5 to 6 years is possible but I don't understand how the company can say that to recruits today.
And before anyone comes on to say we will see attrition like never seen before because of the massive retirements at the majors, keep in mind that our pilot group, as a whole, has bought into flow and that has made us extremely lazy at pushing forth our careers. If you know your projected flow date but can't tell me the date you last updated your applications, you fit this description.
