Accelerated Command??
Let's do some number crunching.
1000 F/Os at EK right now.
More than 60 have been here 4 years or more.
From the end 2008 2 aircraft arriving a month.
10 upgrades per aircraft (optimistically with ULH).
So in the next 4 years that'll be 960 upgrades (again optimistically).
Factor in around 50 (maybe) Direct Entry Captains (DECs) each year.
That'll be, let's see, 5 and a bit years to command for someone joining in 2008.
Accelerating is only used if none of the 1000+ F/Os are eligible for command.
Remember, every negative comment posted on this site came from someone who joined EK thinking that they had hit the jackpot.
