Your CZ peers in MSP will still be buckling their seatbelts on the launchpad, while your SKW MSP seniority is accelerating through Max-Q.
I would guess SKW MSP upgrade would come within 2-3 years, assuming the majors keep hiring and SKW doesn't downsize (the Bro doesn't count, those pilots are already accounted for).
Some of this depends on life priorities...married w/ kids, better go for QOL. Single, you might as well go for the fastest upgrade at any regional which is not so fly-by-night that your certs will be endangered every time you come to work.
