If it happens sooner than that consider yourself fortunate. There are TONS of FOs who've bypassed and the Virgin America guys are way younger as a group than the alaska guys, so there is no huge retirement wave or bubble.

Also there is no big order or net growth coming, its parking 70+ A320/21s and getting a similar number of 737s. Even as a 27 year old you wouldnt retire in the top 50.
