Yeah I'd say probably 5 to 6 years to hold every weekend off in atl/dtw/slc 320 or 73n, and then you're getting pretty awful trips. More like 6 to 7 years for msp. There's a reason there are so many senior nb FOs - it's about the only way you'll get quality time with your family. Take that quick upgrade and you won't be holding weekends or holidays off again until your kids are graduating college.
