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.

20 years in the right
20 years in the left
