For a recent newhire, what would be the latest "projected" upgrade time? 3 years?

Any educated guesses on potential new pilot bases???? IAD? ORD? DFW?

All im hearing is LAX is supposed to grow. The few IAD trips have been stopped and I havent heard anything about those coming back. Although there are alot of people who commute from ORD and DFW so maybe if we get more flying out of those stations there could possibly be trips that start or end there but thats purely a guess or wishful thinking.

Project upgrade is much longer than that. Bottom pilot is 553 on the list. At 6 captains per airplane they would need 92 airplanes on property to Upgrade.

52 airplanes right now.

Deliveries

2013 5
2014 10
2015 11
2016 6
2017 8 92 total airframes
2018 12
2019 8

So bottom guy on the list today is looking at 5 1/2 years based on firm aircraft orders right now with no attrition or retirements figured in so 4-5 would be a closer bet to take the first upgrade.
