By my count, it's 122.

I can assure you, a two year upgrade is not going to happen here for guys yet to be hired or whom have just been hired. I would - at least - double that.

The reason the last upgrades were so senior is bids were only for Denver captain. Future Orlando captain bids will go way junior to the 06 hire.

Even then, a lot of DEN FO's bypassed those DEN CA slots.

Again, where is the growth going to happen? Not DEN or ORD. Is there that much excess capacity in MCO?

F9 just released their latest upgrade class (VSA 1-2017) and the most junior pilot awarded a Capt slot is an April of 2006 hire. And that was out of 4 slots that were filled. I'm not sure what the number of people on the seniority last that have by-passed, but obviously some of those people are now taking the upgrade. Introduce a West Coast base and I would think a lot of those who by-passed would take an upgrade and the upgrade time at F9 would skyrocket. That's good info to base part of an employment decision on.

Yep, 2 year upgrades is what they were selling at the interview.
