No! Not at all! If you want an accurate idea for current employees just post on the thread in AOA forums or PM here or there!

Broke idiot - in a way the data is reflective of the resignations in that command and FO upgrade plans account for past CN and FO departures. The current high resignation rate is predominantly from lower ranks so not too much distortion of my time to command estimates. However I have assumed a growth rate starting from late this year- if it doesn’t grow due resignations time to upgrade will stretch out!

We are losing a lot of CNs but a lot due retirement- that was foreseeable. So most of the unforeseen resignations are from the FO/SO ranks


Current employees
The above does not mean anyone joining before the end of this year will have 3-4/10.5 years to FO/Command. If you joined in say, late 2010, your time to command would be about 14.5 years(ie mid 2025) based on the 2018 plan and assuming back to long term growth from the end of this year. Remember, we have actually not grown for the last three years.
