I agree it looks good, but I sure wouldn't be telling people anything definitive like that.
I remember being told I would make Captain in 5 years, have a 150K/year pension and be a WB Captain in 12 years. Well, it's year 18, still an FO (Although I could be a junior NB on reserve working every weekend and holiday) and no pension. "missed it by that much"
