The industry is beyond dynamic. There is absolutely no way to predict where it will be. Six years ago I would have been a captain at a regional by now and applying at Majors with 3000 total.
The VLJ market won't take off any more than any other segment of bizjets. They're pricey, have limited capability compared to larger jets, and the market won't be driven by regulation, it will be run by insurance which will make it difficult for many people now flying light twins to obtain. (note,this is my speculation)
