Anyone hired in the next 4-5 years can expect a 3-5 year wait for right seat of a widebody and about 4-6 years to upgrade to CA on a narrow body...
Those numbers look good on paper, but reality says something else. 10 people from Republic have been hired at AA this year, and all of them are prior military.
