if I had to guess ... another 1000 hours of 320 SIC won't materially change the situation - partially because it just won't and partially because the regionals will generate that many hundred more captains with 1000 TPIC in that time. I think the DEC ship has sailed but I haven't followed things in great detail. Getting some heavy/intl with an ACMI might look good also.
