Interesting that spike at the 3-5 year mark that Shep mentioned. Gaining enough time in the seat to be complacent, but with not enough experience to fall back on. Anyone care to guess the time (roughly) to command at KA? I wonder if the fact they are looking at reducing the time to command is to make sure the candidates are not yet in the complacent period, or do you think it might just have a little to do with the bottom line, and having to hire those pesky experienced guys?
