Compare years, or do a chart with all the system bids for the last 3 years. Let's just compare 3 bids and ignore the other 9 during the same time frame.
You can't possibly argue the number of upgrades was shockingly low for an airline claiming to grow 5.5-7.5% this year... It's an apples-to-apples comparison since the summer training schedule is typically lighter than other seasons. Some suggested there aren't many upgrades because the schoolhouse clears out for the summers but the historical comparison suggests that's faulty reasoning.

You're a captain?? Somewhat of a surprise given your temperament and level of critical reasoning.

Disagree with a lot you say but the graph did make me laugh, i think it was more of a comical post tho.

Do you have a college degree? Making a dumb chart like that I would be surprised if you did. I heard a lot of guys here don't. Maybe that's why you can't get hired elsewhere. So instead you stay here and complain, and make charts and stats that make things appear worse than they really are. Things are bad enough telling the truth.

Why do you say the chart makes things look worse than they really are?

I'll take your ad hominem attack as an indication you don't have facts to back up anything you say. Although I already knew that from your pi$$ poor 401(k) math on the other thread.

I can't stop laughing that chart is the best. Totally clears everything up.

Who else could write
that chart, atrdriver?
That chart was famous.
That chart was a masterpiece.
Clear, concise, to the point.

That was the best damn chart I ever read!
In fact, that chart wasn't even a chart.

That chart was literature.

Haha so glad I saw it again, what memories it brings back.

Seriously made me laugh, we should have this chart put in crew rooms and under yoke clips
