Upgrade was very recently 6 years. The only thing constant around here is change.
Don't forget that according to those same people, to hold ATL as the bottom FO was gonna be 10 years or so... 🤣
When I said 5 years for my class to upgrade based on aircraft deliveries, retirements and projected hiring, people thought I was nuts... and this was before the MAX grounding. Lo and behold, on my 7th year anniversary, I was in upgrade class.
Our hiring and upgrades are tied to MAX 7. When the FAA clears it, that's when the music resumes. Meanwhile, the world is a much better place when trolls and idiots are placed on ignore list.
