Thanks! Yeah, that is interesting. It sounds similar to Eagle's situation. They didn't hire anyone for the longest time, so that is why their upgrades are super long. 3 years would be great. What are the chances of getting based at CVG? I've heard the new hires automatically go to JFK but I didn't know how true that was. If I didn't have to commute or get a crash pad that might be too good to be true. I'm seriously a 15 min drive from my house to the employee lot at CVG.

I worked as summer help at Comair for the past 3 summers and met and talked to tons of nice Comair guys. I remember meeting a few that had been FO's for a long time and didn't want to upgrade due to seniority and QOL. I guess everyone is different.
