I'd put money down that the junior guy in the left seat MD11 will be a 12 year plus pilot. Probably senior to the junior guy in ANC.
Look at the aborted second Paris bid. Those guys were all senior enough to hold 757 left seat.
The world has changed since you came up. Anybody hired in the early naughties is looking at 13 years or so to narrow body captain. HKG widebody about two years after that.
And anybody hired in the mid-late naughties could be 10 years getting off the panel.
Tell us again to put it behind us. Feels great.
