No it isn’t. It isn’t about when they “hire their last upgrade,” it’s when they hire to the point where making a move to AA doesn’t make as much sense. There is a huge difference on the front of a hiring wave where you can see wide body CA in your career vs the middle where you won’t, or the end where you will end up a narrow body CA with marginal seniority.

I hope people don’t think AS hiring the next 5 years means wide body CA slots the next 5 years.
