However long it shouldn't matter, 10 years is sufficient to realize how this works and not gripe about it when it happens to you. Because everyone wins some then later loses some in this industry.
And if anybody has been in this 25 years, then they only have themselves to blame for their current situation with the regionals, as 25 years should have been more then enough time to make a move out of the regionals elsewhere.
