Its the same thing because at ENY after 12 months as a CA you are “qualified “ to go to AA. You just have to wait your turn. Under Aviate you’ll be “qualified” to go to UAL after 2000 hours, but… you still have to wait your turn. You can’t say Aviate outpaces ENY flow until we see how many Aviate candidates UAL is actually taking per month.
I’m not saying one or the other is better, just saying that we really don’t know yet how long the flow to UAL will be for someone hired today.
