30 - 32 is not unreasonable, assuming nothing changes with the industry.

Day trips should be obtainable once you are very senior in your seat. For regional FO, that might be three years, for major CA, more like 30.

If you're going for fast career progression, you're not going to stay in any seat long enough to enjoy seniority. It's one or the other, never both.

If you live in base, that gives you a lot more flexibility, and more nights at home.
