It all really has to work perfectly and for over half a decade for today's 26 drops in the Envoy bucket to make it over the brim.
You're out of touch with the legacies hiring realities. Talking to various United and Delta recruiters, all of the told me PIC is not required. They look at the overall picture of the person, not only PIC.
Delta specifically want pilots that have been loyal to their companies, more than 4 years in the same place. It doesn't matter if you're an FO or CA. They don't care if you're an FO because the upgrade times are being high, as far as you upgrade if you can you're good to go.
