DEN is one of the most senior bases in the RAH system due to it being our most "western" base.
Better idea. Go to work for another terrible airline with bad pay/qol. Upgrade as fast as possible and then apply to a real airline with proven stability.
This is not the place to start your career. Especially right now! And it will never be the place to end it! Good luck.
you are on crack if you think upgrade is going to take 5-10 years. Attrition alone will keep it in the 2-3 range. That 7 year fence will get a lot of folks outta here. If oil stays high things can change. But just because nothing has moved here in 3 years means that's how it's going to stay. I doubt 12-18 month upgrades are coming, but 24-3 months isn't out of the realm of possibility
