So it can be done after some time with the company. Is upgrade still 2 years ?

As with everything, what happens now doesn’t necessarily hold true for the future. We have the most retirements in the next decade.

Other thread here says it is 18 months in the most junior base. YMMV

Thinking out loud here, the XLR Europe ops should add another crew member, so there might be some change in movement, too. NY is first, not sure when/if PHL and MIA are going to follow.

Not AA. Worked ACMI in EU for 7 years living in DC. 10-5 schedule, so crossed 4 times a month. Would not recommend. It worked for me, and I had no choice really, but long term it will definitely not be good for you.
