All the younger pilots (if we can believe what they say) will quit at a ~much~ younger age than the few dinosaurs they vociferously critcize. If one hired on at 25 years old, he could look forward to more years as a captain than a first officer. I look forward to a new batch of young pilots.
getting hired at 25 (not that there is a single pilot on the seniority list that young) would probably be the break even point for equal time right seat and left seat before retiring at 65.
