Good points. I like this job but I don't mind working hard. Very manageable. I don't think upgrade to widebody, 85% or higher, is very quick. Even that small bit of seniority on a narrowbody is worth it. If one does upgrade at 100% folks will continue to pile in on top of you for years to come.
I think we are nearing "industry standard" with upgrade times and I hope everyone applying knows it. Too many "sponsors" look rearward to estimate upgrades and how soon to expect "better" schedules.
