Huh? A couple of years? What are you talking about? We get those "promotion" invites every year and they often try to talk people into crossing over while they're still in training..
To the OP:
You're asking a valid question.
Currently it takes ~16 years for a line pilot to upgrade to a captain position at ups.
..or one could say "screw you all, it's all about me" and either cross over from line position to management (one-way street, can't ever go back) or accept a management position as a new hire.
Hope this is "informative" enough.
Don't be that guy.
