I would say that 500ish upgrades in 2022 is a good number, the only unknown is the staffing model as mentioned above. If SWAPA convinces the company to go for a more efficient model then there will be less. I’m about 70ish numbers junior to the junior oak captain and I don’t expect to upgrade until the fall of 2022 or later because of this. (I would prefer the company goes with a more efficient model because it creates schedule flexibility, even though it means a longer upgrade for me)

As a 2010 AT hire that would put me right at 12 years. I think at that pace the upgrade time will hover around 12 years and come down slowly as we get to the mid 2020s to around 10 years.
