It may take an activist investor threatening the board or actually promoting someone with chutzpah into the ceo office to change our course. I don't see either happening any time soon.

Indeed. It’s painful to watch from the outside (line swine). Oh well, here we go!

Incidentally, this would’ve been the bid that would’ve won me the BBQ bet had I still been an FO.

Instead you're a blank line holder with no reserve blocks...

Out of curiosity, does anyone expect for Captain upgrade times to come down at all in the future or will 6-7 years still be the norm?

If we somehow manage to add a red-eye shift (including red-eye reserve), we'll need more crews, and I think that'll drive upgrade times down if it happens.

Of course, getting more crews to come here (and stay) is going to require a quality CBA to be ratified, and soon. Until we have more planes and more pilots on property, I don't see much changing.
