But that sounds about in the ballpark.
Have you attended a job fair?

Realistically figure about 7 years. 7 years if we don't retire frames or order more then on the book would bring us to a little more then 5000 pilots, plus we have about 250 retirements between now and then.

Don't come to any company planning on an upgrade "time". you'll likely be disappointed. If you see guys today upgrading in 2-3years, and you're hired today, odds are there will not be a 2-3 year upgrade for you.
I'd also expect guys in the churn on bottom to settle once there's a contract in place. who knows... but looking down the road 5 years every class you're not on a seniority list could cost you months or years in the right seat.
