Not saying "don't come here", just "know what you are signing up for". AA has 15K pilots, 11K will be gone in 2041, so based on current size 27% RS. At NK, 2.8K current pilots, and 1.8K WILL BE STILL THERE IN 2041, so 64% RS without growth (21 year upgrade). To get the same seniority we need to get 6700 pilots on the property, some growth will happen, but no guarantees, age 65 is a way safer bet. And you have to take WB into account, the reason UA, DL and AA have 3 year upgrades vs WN 11 years (what we will see at some point...), is that they have different fleets. You can sling gear once a month in the 777, or sit in the right seat on reserve into LGA 4 times a day. But still, 3 out of those 4 seats pay better than what we pay.

Do they send out TBNT emails after the MTCs or no? I haven't heard anything after attending the one in ORD but my application is still "under review."
Wondering if I'm in limbo now, should reapply at a later date or try for another MTC?

I attended the MTC in ORD and received an interview invite yesterday. Others posted receiving one last week. Seems they might still be processing them, perhaps. Good luck!
