Do you think I have a shot at flowing over within that time frame?
Eagles upgrade is 6 years? Or did you bypass?

Regional Airline pilots are all so worried about flows, pay, shiny jets and who gets to play airline pilot with them. It's the wrong battle, completely.

The real battle is doing everything in your power to end this entire way of existing as a B scale pilot. It's time to bring these airplanes and their flying home where it belongs.

Do you have to consider flows, pay, and shiny jets in the present? I suppose so, but pick the right battle.
Agreed generally, but young, hungry regional pilots have needs and wants and just like an El Paso crack head will do some surprising things to get that fix NOW !

Not too long ago you were a hungry regional pilot. With an ego to top it off.

The laughing joke for everyone!

Mason may or may not be the oracle everyone claims him to be.

You however, are just a wanker.

I'm not sure what they'll do now honestly, no new hires coming in means no upgrades. 7 years could easily turn to. 8, 9, etc.

as a 6 year FO you should be applying to Delta, United, Fedex and everywhere else from Virgin, Spirit and Jetblue. There is NO reason to wait for AA unless you have to.

Didn't I hear you've had over 100 upgrades this year already? That's probably more than you hired all year too. If it continues you'll have over 200 upgrades this year. That sounds better than a lot of other places. However, since you're mr doom & gloom we aren't surprised you wouldn't notice.

If be surprised if we've had 100 upgrades but I honestly don't pay slot of attention to upgrades. If we've had 100 though that's only 10 years for the most junior FO on property to upgrade, heck of a deal.

I do like your effective advice you gave the other guy though, apply to legacies who won't hire you. If that's what you're telling guys with 6 years seniority this deal you say is being worked on must be awful.
