As of right now, the projections are pretty accurate. Widget seniority accounts for 1% growth in the model as well. That's a bit conservative (or is it?).
You are looking at minimum 5-6 years to hold the plug as a narrowbody captain at the current pace. Crystal ball is hazy.
I will say one thing....1-2 year upgrade times are not a thing anymore. If you're just now getting on property, you won't be able to upgrade before 2030.
