Don’t think you need much of a calamity. Just a little slowdown, and say a new competitor taking ground in the market -could easily make the MDs go away much sooner than anticipated. Suddenly those shiny new 74’s and 76’s aren’t growth airframes after all.
And what’s a 2014 hire going to upgrade into anyway? A slightly bigger paycheck with crap qol, working the worst brown has to offer? IMO, until the 74 comes to SDF the 2014/5 crowd will have to wait 8-10 + years to have a little buffer under them in the L seat seniority list to make an upgrade palatable.
