I guess I should have put an asterisk next to my times…that’s for this point in time. We didn’t hire for a year and we even furloughed 700 that’s all just came back to the line in April. The two years to hold a line includes a year of dead-time. So, you could probably expect times on par with where we were pre-COVID. It was a couple months to get into any base you wanted and about 10 moths to hold a line everywhere but CLT. I think that was about 14-16 months but could be wrong (I wasn’t based there so I wasn’t “really” paying attention).

In regards to upgrades. We are already “senior manning” which means as soon as you’re eligible you should be able to upgrade. However, that does mean you’ll be back on reserve and there are likely those senior to you that are bypassing until they can hold a line so it could be a long time on reserve as a captain. I think historically it’s been about 4.5 years on property to hold a line as a captain.

Of course, these numbers can always get shorter or longer depending on what happens above the regionals.
