First, congratulations to all who received a May award!

Highlights
The large number of captain vacancies posted last month (effective 5/1) has brought upgrade times down several months in the historically more senior bases.

DCA and MCI will be about 1 year more junior in May.

IAH wins the award for greatest improvement, at 1.5 years more junior. There were 8 vacancies posted and filled in IAH alone. Some growth for IAH looks to be in the works.

One can now hold any base as captain within 1 year of the junior upgrade (except ORD, sorry). I'm not sure if this is likely to continue however. I think what will be needed is a steady stream of vacancies and backfills appropriate for the size of each base.

About the tables
I've made some changes in an effort to present the data as best as I can. It continues to be a work in progress and suggestions are welcome.
