I try not to dwell on it or be bitter about it, but I'm my 14th year, and I still have a 5 digit number. Most of the guys I fly with have been captains since about the 7 or 8 year point.
My hope is that in context folks here will realize the point is not the SLI but now what do you we got to buy with seniority here. 17 years buys what? I remember scoffing when I heard the plug at UsAir (years ago) had 18 years of seniority. That the plug at UAL and AMR went back to the late 90s (so I understand, may be off).
