Omni, Kalitta, possibly Spirit comes to mind first. No degree required for any of them, and 5 year captain seniority should be in the 180-210 range. I assumed 3 years in regionals to be hireable by those companies.
Of course if you bid reserve and chill, it takes longer. But for someone who is willing to hustle and fly a lot, that should be a realistic timeframe, give or take a year or two.
Done right, a pilot can also make 300k+ in 20 years from start of career, even with no degree or anything. 8 years at Envoy/PDT/PSA, flow, and 12 year seniority at AA.
Start when you're 24, make 300k+ from 44 until 65, that's 21 years of 300k+ income.
All this obviously assumes no 9/11's or other history changing events at times of low seniority.
