Decade? That IS funny...almost as funny as the part about us going out of business. Attrition plus expansion would put a newbie as of today where others are guessing...about 5-6 years. If the manufacturers get up to speed and stop delaying our deliveries AND FlightSafety gets us training slots upgrade could stay at 3 years for awhile. If aircraft DON"T get delivered...etc...then upgrade slips to NEVER. So instead of being that much of a pessimist, try going with current information.

As for my part in the DISinformation effort on this thread, I heard Delta is liquidating next week. Hey it's as factual as some of the other stuff here.

Cheers!
