It can't keep going up with the same medical standards. Degradations not only increase with age, they increase exponentially. The two year 65-67 degradations likely significantly exceed the five year 60-65 levels. Every day that goes by that pipe dream fades slowly away as fewer get to partake in another 2 year windfall.

Overpopulation isn't a national resource. They keep building ghost cities and they keep rotting at the same rate they're building new ones. Their economy is beyond redlined with greatly exagerated GDP numbers, they're crushed in debt and are the biggest paper tiger on earth. There is *some* growth opportunity there for some sectors, but its nowhere near the fake never to be seen 100% "manifest destiny" all the emerging market fanboys like to pretend it will be.

Besides, does anyone think we would ever get a truly equitable presence (including growth) with a one party rule dominated hyper nationalized system?

You are referring to the automobile ignorance of the “vette/Porsche crowd”. I wouldn’t really put Porsche into the muscle car mindset of horsepower 1st. Their heritage has more to do with lightweight efficiency and driving dynamics. The 904 was a racecar built with a 4cyl to prove that point. 911’s have always been flat 6’s. The more stripped down they make a car, the more it costs.

I don’t do this to start an argument. We have new hires on these forums! They come here to seek information. What you are saying is worse than some DGS guy forcing a “technidure” down everyone’s throats in the 200 block.

December Crew Resources Monthly Newsletter confirmed the rumored large amount of Widebody positions were not posted due to a switch to smaller more frequent AEs. Awarded Widebody positions wouldn't be able to train until Feb or March to to Sim Availability so expect Widebody positions in January.

"Smaller, more frequent AE's."

And the cycle continues.

If they don’t have training slots until February/March there’s no point starting the 210-day conversion clock now. Waiting until January gives them a couple months of training timing flexibility.
