Mainly a selfish question since I got the invite but a pesky deployment got in the way. Can’t do anything about it for few more months.
Recruitment said at the last career fair in the spring that half the pilot group will be replaced in the next 7 years. This does not account for growth which we are currently growing. Currently upgrade on the 757 is under 3 years. In the last 2 bids most Jr capt. award was around 2 year seniority. Using historical and future data you would be top 50% in the right seat of the 757 in about 1.5 years. Widebody fleet would vary by AC. But as a data point those hired 1.5 years ago are about 57% in right seat of MD-11, 75% on 777/Airbus and 90% on the 767 because they havent hired into that seat in a year in MEM and many of the hires in 2015 and 2016 that went into the 757 have bid to the right seat of the 767.
