When was your most junior 320 PIC hired? And same for 320 PIC lineholder? I was a PIC holding a line after 3 years, that is probably a few years longer now, but I would guess still way faster than at JB.
Send me a copy of the 2023, and I will update accordingly....
Did I not read that upgrades have come to a near halt at NK? You seem to using old data and presenting it as predictive of the future. Also, how quickly you upgraded 7-10 YEARS ago is hardly a data point in the current environment.
You asked about the 320, but I'm not sure if you know this but we also have an Airbus A220, which pays $317 an hour today and $341 and hour left seat August of next year. Do you bid an aircraft to win a Johnson-measuring contest or for money? I'm not going to go data mining the whole seniority list but junior Capt with an effective date of:
June '24 is:
A220 April 19
A320 April 18
Dec '24:
A220 Sept 19
A320 April 18
That system bid closed in Aug 23.
If NK upgrades are slowing now, or have slowed recently as I thought I read here recently, then all your recent year NK data is irrelevant. What was, is not now.
We have many bases and multiple effective dates, I had to look around for the data and could have missed something more junior. But I don't think your characterization of 7-8 year upgrades is fair for JB. Looks to be about 5 on the A220 and 6 on the A320.
