None of this comes with a guarantee. It's just the projections based on the numbers.
Five year upgrades? Laughable but guys still bring it up as a yardstick. LIke the newhire FE telling us he's going to upgrade in five years. I ask the FO "do you think you're upgrading in five years?" No, and I'm 2000 numbers senior to him.
The retirement numbers, and growth in Group VI jobs, will be stunning for the guys hired today. The early movers, especially after such a long gap in hiring, will do very well.

Just sharing some stuff...
It's still a great time to get hired
And, after a corporate raider, 4 BK's, one lopsided SLI about to be made even more so by another and witnessing or being involved in uncountable episodes of unbelievable daily BS and wondrous management decisions, I do still like my job and enjoy going to work.
I hope y'all can say the same thing in thirty years.
Unrealistic expectations are a poor foundation.

Lots of 787's options will probably be converted, plus more A350's and probably a 777X order will keep the G4 positions coming. They will probably keep the 767's as long as possible with the investment into updating the interiors and improving mx. My guess is 5-7 years G2 upgrade time for someone hired 2013/2014. G4 captain in 12-15 years as predicted in earlier threads. I see AA as trending towards keeping our intl flying in-house and not JV'ing like others do. It will be a great G4 airline gig if you want that. *all subject to change

I think there is still maybe another 500 in the 824.
