Seeing as only two US passenger airlines fly the 747 (for who knows how much longer), I would re-ask the question in this way, "How long do you think it would take to get from being a co-pilot on a regional jet to being a captain flying a Super Premium Widebody Jet all around the world?".
Unless of course you are looking at Brown and Kalitta.
