The wild card is the SLI. Regardless if you’re hired now you’d be about 3,000 with only ~625 retirements in the next 10 yrs. You will be a FO longer than any of the other big 6 carriers.
FWIW, Had a 787 FO in the jumpseat yesterday; he said he would be 87% in the most junior narrow body domicile as a captain. He was 19 years at United.
