Start applying at FedEx and UPS
Apply with an ACMI to get “heavy longhaul” time till you get hired.
So realistic minimum 5-7 years from now.
Up to never.....
Nothing wrong with the example by itself - but you do have to replace "realistic" with "extremely optimistic 5-7 years"
C'mon Don't lie to the kids! it is an airline industry he is interested in afterall..
You forgot to through in a furlough or two, with years of non-flying and than years of trying to get back to flying..

So...honestly 12-20 years would be more on the "realistic" side.
