I'm sure he could have upgraded sooner but I didnt get the impression very much sooner.
Either way there's always the grass is greener stories at every airline. I'm glad now people have somewhat of a choice compared to 10 years ago.
He was feeding you a line. Nobody has 17 years on property because nobody was hiring in 2002. But 12 years on property gets you about 20-25 from the bottom of LAX777 right seat.
