In the 2014-19 hiring years, 1100 was beaten once:

Interesting looking at 2013 compared to 2023. Lot's of reasons why, but still... Dang. 820 compared to almost 12000.

And that, folks, is why it's better to be lucky than good. The fact it took some Captians 16 years to make it, and others 2 years (or less) is not your fault. If you are the latter, be glad of your good fortune, but don't think you are entitled to it either. And the inverse is also true if you are the former. Don't hold it against the pilot who just got lucky with his/her timing.
