It does include asa/xjt and they were working on one that would include all carriers. So any former 121 could come over and keep longevity towards pay.

Where does that number come from? We have no where near that many captains leaving, and the last of our growth is upon us now.

No..........

Do the math! We've been upgrading about 60/month. Number of captains leaving has been 30-40, the rest has been growth. Going forward the amount of captain attrition will only increase. Only thing that will stop upgrades is the lack of new hires which is a real possibility but somehow we keep getting 60 plus every single month...

So do the awards for domiciles usually follow the DVR pretty closely numbers wise?

It is more like 40 per month. The ER7 CA slots tend to be transitions.

And those transitions usually get back filled with CRJ upgrades. Even if it was closer to only 50/month that's 600 upgrades a year. In less than 2 years those 1000 guys have already upgraded....
