So it all depends on how the bypass trend continues as to whether we've got an upgrade in a couple years or if it's still 5 years off.
Yeah correct. Even if a thousand bypass (because they can hold it now), there are still a thousand between me and the junior seat.

Pre-Covid they were talking about what, 500 upgrades a year? So it’s at least two years for me in that scenario. I’m guessing it will still be towards the ten year mark.
