you want it come get it now…..
Have you seen the number of deliveries that we have coming this year and for the next 5 years?
Upgrades will not dry up for the next 5-10 unless theirs a black swan event that kills the airlines or unless we "run out" of pilots to hire.
Is this Quigley on here trying to sell guys on how great it will be to sit reserve indefinitely?
Everyone should do what they want, but to say that upgrades will dry up after a contract is histerical.
Maybe it will go from 12 months on property to 2-3 years, but would you rather do year 2-3 as a senior FO or a CA on reserve. If you hate your family or you are a "money is everything" person, go ahead and take the upgrade, because I don't see reserve getting that much better here. I'd like the NC to surprise me though.
