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.
They know the facts, the truth is not on their agenda.
That should be obvious when they say things like “it’s a lie to tell people the upgrade time is 2 years 10 months” when that’s exactly what the time is, right there in black and white!
The way things are playing out with the Chicago base opening I see another system bid in the near future. Probably around October. The upgrade time will be under 2 years and there will REALLY be some panties in a wad.
