if someone got hired in early 2012 what would you estimate their upgrade to be? Im thinking it will take 10 years to move half way up the list. thanks

I'd say that's close, but that is considering all things constant. And that is the one thing we all know we can count on to never happen. Sorry for the glass half empty view, but it's true.

Delta also accepts applications through airlineapps 365 days a year, whereas US only accepts them for short windows of time.

Block holding captain, or bottom reserve? As of the last bid, '07-08 new hires are only 300 numbers from the most junior E190 captain seat. So theoretically, upgrades could happen within 2-3 years if you're willing to sit reserve in PHL.
