787FO: 5 years (that’s an assumption that might not hold true)
NBCA: 2025
756 CA:2029
787 CA: sorry not going to happen you will retire around 4000
SFO WB FO in 2023
EWR WB CA in 2038 (you might not be around for it. I just choose somebody in the bottom hundred with your approximate birth year......good luck
And with these numbers you would be commuting to reserve for a huge portion of your career. Most commuting folks I know and fly with are bypassing upgrades until they can solidly hold a line. The people taking early upgrades all live in their base. Commuting to reserve at UAL is awful.
