Personally I think 6.5 years is very optimistic for the SEA base. Maybe another anomaly will occur if a 737 SFO base opens, for example. Financially speaking I’m planning on 8-10 years for first available upgrade. With no improvements for the FO payscale or slope.
Hence the 1/2 milli I’ll have lost out on if UAL doesn’t call soon.
