I only have 20ish years left under the current rules, so I need to maximize as much as I can. Any guess of an upgrade time for a new hire? I've considered that I might need to be a fo for my whole career for QOL, but I had at least hoped to have the option.
I’d say a realistic worst case scenario, based on recent history, is being on furlough at the 12 year point. But I certainly hope you’re a captain at that point.
