Career progression is going to be good (outside of the next black swan event).
Here are the mandatory retirements for the next 15 years. (From APC) Average of just under 500 *mandatory* retirements per year for the next 10 years.

Add in expansion and recovery from the VEOP and there’s never been a better time to get hired.
