Best case scenario was 2 years and a few days. It'll never happen again, but in theory it could.
Realistically, I would expect 4 years to CPP to United if you can meet all the requirements. 18 months on property to get your 1000 SIC, 24 months to get your 1000 PIC, and 6 months sitting in the pool. You're going to have to work hard to meet those numbers, but it's totally doable.
And you're not going to a major without 1000 TPIC. So unless something radical happens in the industry, you're going to be at a regional for 4 years to build 1000 TPIC regardless.
