I was looking at late 2014 DOH's. But I screwed up the upgrade time. It's closer to 6 yrs instead of five years.
Talking with a late 2014 new hire the other day and we were talking about his future opportunities. That is what caused me to look into the numbers. He could be a decent n/b line holder, or 767 reserve, but already positioning himself, due to the two year training lock-ins, for the G4 FO vs CA upgrade. At the two year mark.
The advancements is like the mid and late 1980's all over again. Crazy. But the difference is back then it was based on growth. Now it's based on retirements which is a much better, and reliable, forecast.
