At 500 pilots/year that would take 6.8 years for a new hire today to reach 80%. And that considers zero growth of any kind during that entire timeframe. So 10 years to hold any CA spot doesn't really play out, although as has been discussed it will take longer to hold certain bases and much longer to hold decent CA seniority.
Primarily interested to see what the 20-40 350-1k’s, 350-9’s, 330’s adding WB positions does to NB A, as well as general growth across the fleets.. maybe drop it a handful of %’s?
