Nobody here can answer your question because to be quite honest, it is a ridiculous question without an answer.

Advancement is about to go backwards , ok?

If that’s the case, then that’s the case. I don’t need 10 people on my back stating the obvious when I’ve clearly said my question is not regarding the current situation.

Edit: My question is irregardless of the pandemic. If it makes it easier, how was it before the pandemic?

Why do you ask? My question is irregardless of the current pandemic, it’s more of a general question.

Delta has MD-88s and they are virtually done, so how will that effect equipment upgrade times?

Yes, yes I am. I am aware of the situation but my question was irregardless of the current situation. I understand that you may be super active on this forum and you’re aware of everything, but please, just help others out.
Regardless

Pro tip - when 10 people all disagree with whatever you are asking then there is a very good chance that you are indeed asking a bad question.

You know there are no upgrades. You know there are no new hires. You know the vast majority of the fleet is "parked" and there's more to come. The only shred of reality in your questions could theoretically be wanting to know the current snapshot of the most recent awards. But why, when that is zero percent relevant to anything?

If you're going to troll please at least be funny or witty about it.
I was completely unaware that this forum can’t think back to old data, or at least be smart enough to give useful information because obviously this pandemic is affecting things. I think the general consensus here is to not give an answer. I’m off.

I completely understand that you may think I’m trolling, but honestly, I’m not. I’m looking for an answer. Again, this is irregardless of the pandemic and info from beforehand is fine.

New Hire: AA-5A and 6XS2.

Upgrades:
Low end: NB MU2 1-3 years High end: Widebody AN-225 running 18-20 years.

Hahahah. I still love the fact people think irregardless is the proper word to use. Those double negatives can be hard.

That's pretty close although it did shift two integers after the recent drop. Not sure if he was asking about that though.
