I'm guessing at least 5-6 years if not more, which puts me in my 50's before I would get on with an airline, changing my career from 18-ish years to less than 15. I know that I could still get a good senior captainship at a regional in that time, but while I'm not wanting to do this to chase after the money it does reduce the ROI potential significantly.
