5 and 20, the rest is nonsense.
5 months????????? That's complete and utter BS! And I'm familiar with the shenanigans...

I was moved up from April to January this year...and am looking forward to doing this year's training again in December, I'm guessing.

??? Delta has 2021 hires in left seat of 737 NYC. United has upgrades under 2 years...

American is by far the longest upgrade of the 3 right now.

How long you'll be sitting reserve is a different story.

That glitch at DLA was fixed, they’ll honor the bid after some time as an FO but no NHs are getting that and it was only JFK…UAL may be slightly quicker then AA but it’s not every NB base. AA is about 2 years at LAX/CA but I had trip with a 12 year MIA CA still pulling LC reserve. I left after 6 months because of various reasons but one was because the rumors on here and reality aren’t usually close.

At UAL, narrowbody line holding capt on the west coast (LAX and SFO) for June is below the 5 year mark, the exception being Airbus line holder in SFO at about 6ish. EWR line holders are roughly 6 years as well. Given, those are crap lines but with trip trading I’m sure what they are actually flying looks a lot different.
