AQP will allow a small margin of extra productivity as well that may reduce the hiring footprint for a short while longer. That said, I would anticipate upgrade times to keep dropping over time, due in part to growth, and also to retirements that will peak in about 10 years. How this plays out ultimately, well... we shall see.

You just have to justify your move to 121 anyway you can.
Don’t worry Bruh (Hawaiian). We’ll be fine here.
Enjoy your red eye.
By the way, there very much are numerous comparisons of NetJets to 121... and the career categories 121 held a strong winning margin over NetJets have closed considerably over the last 15 years.
In another 15, I’m sure you’ll still claim a larger margin for some peripheral reason... and that’s fine.

Its super cute how you think everyone commutes and they everyone is on reserve. You must be getting your info from the same place you pull your lies about NJA from. Both are utterly worthless and flat out damaging on public forums.

You blew you change at upgrading by 2021 since you were hired in 2015. I know the news hurts. If I had a large ego like you, the mental anguish would be amazing.
You don’t commute but upgrading frost available chance at Alaska to ride reserve isn’t exactly “walking in tall cotton” either.
You’ve made a bad decision. Admit it.
But, “you make no mistakes. Everyone else is to blame. You’re the victim”.
We get it.

We’re not an airline.
You’re comparison is not valid.

I suppose right about that. Quality of life on reserve is better than quality of life on a work week at netjets.

Quite the opposite. I simply call it like it is. I’ve predicted more accurately than not over the years.
Let me clarify the upgrade times. 2015 hired will take just a little longer, upwards of 4 more years tops. I miscounted... that’s 2023, not 2021. Sorry about that.
The upgrade time will continue to trend down to 6-7 years from there quickly, however... at the correct rate of upgrades, and with increased upgrades coming from enhanced available simulator time following AQP.
Sure, anything can happen, but that’s pure numbers right now of upgrades happening per month/number of pilots to upgrade vs the hire dates of the pilots were considering.
It is what it is.
When is your upgrade in base at Alaska?
Alaska is really burning up the 121 airwaves, right? At least 15 jets a year growth like NetJets? New cities? Lots of upgrades?
How’s that going for you?

. I will echo the many others in here that leaving NJA was a fantastic decision. Enjoy TEB and sitting down to pee!
