Within the entire career duration of a new hire? (Presently at ANY age)...no.

Upgrade is tough to determine. If you look at it as a pure numbers game you can only get an estimate.
My seniority coming up on 9 years and well over 550 away. ( not from the most senior non GV captain). With no growth plan and attrition at say 2%... That's roughly 10 more years minimum..for a total of 19 years. Sure there may be several dozen bypasses which may allow someone to sneak in ahead of their time. What if attrition is 1%'or less? Do the math.
A new hire will may see a bit shorter times because of the 4 yr gap in hiring

Just had a few upgrades.
Unsure of hire date.

You and I both know that we can't have more food until we clear our current plate.
It'll happen. Sales are strong and everything we take from OEMs is sold out. FACT.
If you know of a way to increase production of frames, please do share!
Our ebb and flow is independent of airline hiring and upgrades. That comes with pros and cons.
