And by 2021 I think you mean very late 2021 hires. If I recall correctly there was barely any hiring from April 2020 until about October or November 2021?? 2022 and 2023 were huge hiring years, but 2024 and 2025 were quite small.
All this to say 2026 hires may possibly have the chance to upgrade in less than 6 years.

Yeah, guessing on that one is purely make-believe. It’s just not knowable. What we do know is that nothing remains the same. The system is always shifting. Whatever is true today will not be true next year. Hoping that you significantly beat your forecast.

Guessing some guys bid out to avoid bad schedules for summer. 2 downgraded. True test will be how many get back into DEN when the west coast churn actually starts. LAS +70 CA by OCT will do more than another 40 to AUS.

Commuters bid out of Denver as other bases grow and they realize that commuting to reserve is miserable.
I could have held it in several bids. It's an easy commute for me, but no way would I subject myself to that. It's almost to the point where anyone displaced as a CA can hold it again if not already there. It's just not going to suck there for a long time. Once hiring stops, it's going to be frozen in time and very senior.

Been keeping up with this thread and doing my best to understand it as an outsider. Can new hires still expect BWI/MCO? I understand ATL is smaller and pretty senior but what does the wait for holding it look like for someone starting in late June/early July?
