He might get an early spot if someone leaves also, my buddy got a month early.
I agree. I've never heard of anyone leaving a major airline to work for a regional.
Now hypothetical scenario: Let's say attrition slows, Airbus delay even more deliveries and that 2-4 month timeframe isn't accurate. With your knowledge/experience of how much better a major is than a regional, how many months would you be willing to wait for a class date over a regional?
