Just wondering because we're entering 2019, and with the amount of young guys getting hired at the legacies, you're looking at a nice long career of either a senior FO in 20 years or a reserve captain.
I was going to ask if you ignored the retirement numbers, but I already know the answer because otherwise you wouldn't have said that. Even if every pilot hired so far is younger than someone hired right now, there are still so many retirements that you'd be looking at being a line-holding captain in half that time or less.
