Sorry but once AA hires their last retirement newhire, upgrades will be stagnant for almost every airline. 8-10 year upgrades will be the norm. This isn’t the regionals, people stay and movement will be limited. Sorry, but this is what it is. So best go to somewhere where FOs can make a great living as well and not needing an upgrade to have a rewarding career.

No it isn’t. It isn’t about when they “hire their last upgrade,” it’s when they hire to the point where making a move to AA doesn’t make as much sense. There is a huge difference on the front of a hiring wave where you can see wide body CA in your career vs the middle where you won’t, or the end where you will end up a narrow body CA with marginal seniority.
I hope people don’t think AS hiring the next 5 years means wide body CA slots the next 5 years.

LOL, I that's what they told us in the 90's also. WB captain with a huge pension to retire on......That and the pilot shortage, which didn't hit until this year apparently.

Spirit will tell you that you’ll make more at spirit than Delta. Must be true also.
