Yeah idk, I’ve always been a pure numbers guy. I doubt anyone you asked made an effort to do some research before giving an honest answer. I’m showing 50/122 BOS CA’s retiring in 5y (40%)—91/122 retiring in 10y (75%). The upgrade times should theoretically be less than 5 years if hired today.
Jr. upgrade times at AA should remain around 2.5y for at least a few more years due to mandatory retirements and A/C orders. BOS is a senior base—a 5y NB upgrade time is very senior at AA. Every other base—including PHX Airbus—has current upgrade times under 4 years.
