Not sure the average rolling seniority required to hold Captain, maybe 57% or so? It's pretty dynamic right now. Skewed by those that bypass upgrade for a lengthy period. Also the massive surge to catch up on Captain upgrades from the lost year. When the company kicked the tires on their new PBS toy, thinking it was far faster than it was. It's still pretty fast though.

Wasn't this thread about a Giant trying on SpiritWings though? Make the leap man, Bezos already spent y'all's money on his midlife crisis.
its around 65% right now....while you are correct that part of this is due to staffing more captains than FO’s, the biggest reason is due to our horrible RSV qol. Fact is, a lot of FO’s are bypassing because they don’t wanna be on RSV.
