Assuming someone was hired by a regional right when turning 21 and already had around 2500TT (when starting at a regional), only failed PPL check ride, has a B.S degree. (no minority, average white male)
Start applying to the majors as soon as you are flying the line at a regional. You can get lucky and get picked up at a major by the time you are 25 if not sooner.
