A person will upgrade when they upgrade. Fantasizing about it will not pay the bills or earn you PIC time. Tell the truth and nothing but the truth. People of the future will thank you.
It’s like that at ALL airlines. Upgrade at UAL is about 4 years.......if you want SFO. Many people don’t, so they wait. Upgrade at IAH is about 7 years. Denver is insanely high. But nobody walks around talking about “average upgrade”. The garbage bases are junior, the desirable bases are senior. Always gonna be that way. If you want it bad enough......you’ll take it. I upgraded as soon as I could at XJT. I live in a hub, but I commuted to other bases for almost 3 years.
I get what you’re saying.....but it wasn’t too long ago that EWR was at 8-9 years, and IAH was untouchable. So flynd94 is right, even if you wanna just focus on the negative.
