So 3 years 2 months is the latest and greatest on how long it is taking to hold CA at F9 for a new hire....as the likely junior base stands up.....what happens once that is fully staffed is another matter.....but odds are another base is announced this year..........maybe...........

So 2 years 10 months he was awarded. That’s the number people care about. What if he gets sick and pushes it back? FMLA? Mil leave? Changes the date he would be a “line qualified” Captain. So yah....2 years 10 months.
Everything else you said about the bases is correct.
