I do think that if things starts moving like in summer 2011, the upgrade time will plummet from 3 to 4 years. Of course if we can get the amount of FOs they want.

When they get to the 08 hires it will drop two years just because they didn't hire till 2010.

Wake me up when AMERICAN AIRLINES hires 600 pilots! Feeding the bottom is nothing to be excited about people.

Let's see, 5,000 X 600 is $300,000 we could have kept in our bankrupt contract.

Exactly, this kind of info is for those early 20 year olds just out of college or have just enough flight time from flight instructing or some other kind of GA flying to get excited about. Now in my late thirties with a family to support I know better. Shiny jet syndrome still continues to be a problem for our young ones, I admit it, I had it when i was younger which lasted a few months then i woke up and realized what i was worth.

I had SDS - Shiny Domicile Syndrome when I chose Eagle. I wanted an ORD base and knew I could get it either right away or in short timing. Turned out to be the case. As I tell others, I left my flight instructing job for this job to be able to come home - it just happened to be an airline job that was hiring at the time. I would fly a freaking metroliner if it allowed me to be based where I live.
