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?

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

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.

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.
