LGA 777 CA: Jul '89
LGA 787 CA: Nov '99
LGA 787 FO: Oct '22
MIA 777 FO: Aug '22

Sliceback -
December award. So 3 years 4 months to junior w/b after DOH. Three years 2 months in NYC.
Captain was 2 years 10 months from DOH to upgrade in NYC.
Lots of 2022 and 2023 hires to work through before the 2024 new hires get to upgrade. As the retirements drop off the time to upgrade should/might lengthen. Is Delta still doing their 2 year upgrades? Or has the shift in their hiring bubble, recent hiring, and retirements changed the upgrade rush of 2022(?)?
