Furthermore I never said someone should wait to upgrade. They should not be able to upgrade, because others senior to them are upgrading, not bypassing.
Even furthermore, I am not shaming anyone that upgrades that early. I assume a professional pilot knows what the are bidding for. I am just saying there is a QOL issue if upgrades have fallen that low. Plain and simple.

Jesus people, this isn’t a simple math problem. Just go with where you can get hired and gave the best QOL. You are all asking… and answering the wrong questions.
Regardless, you never know what was right until you die anyway.
just find a job that pays you to fly airplanes and enjoy it.
oh and to the moron that thinks a less than one year upgrade is a good thing… WTF? How many pilots are at Delta? About 15k, let say half are FOs. That means 7,00 FO wanted nothing to do with that upgrade. That is not a good thing.
10 year upgrade is to much.
2 year upgrade is to little
5-7 is just right.

Yeah, these forever FOs need to take a long hard look in the mirror before criticizing other people for taking first available. Just the discussion of comparing upgrade time with your peers seems to trigger them as you saw here. You need to ask the question, why is that?

AA clearly has the most retirements and therefor the best movement. However, I was told that every retirement triggers 3 training events. Lets say theres 800 retirements in a year: does the airlines training even have the capacity to train for all of the attrition plus growth? What im getting at here, in 3 years when AA retirements peak, will there be enough pilots for the airline to maintain or even grow its fleet? TIA
