Just out of curiosity. Does it matter if it comes out the first day or the last day? Does it change anything? You’re not going to get any junior in those 7 days. Might actually gain 7 spots at this rate.

For me, just to get some light at the end of the commuting tunnel.

Yup

And at American, 60% of their pilot group will retire in the next 10 years. If you're hanging your hat here, get used to the slow movement.

Ive only run the numbers for guys in front of me, but we don't see triple digit retirements until mid 2020's. As long as the planes keep coming there will still be forward motion. If we stop taking planes, the ride is over. better like your seat.

You got that right. Plus the 190 is going to get sold, along with the pilots, to Skywest. The pilots will get preferential interviews though. Bail to the bus!
