Another thing to think about is that when/if the bump begins for the 756, there are going to be about 80 pilots in each seat that will bump. Junior pilots will probably be stuck because of voluntary displacements. If I’m still on the 756 at that time, I plan to try and bump to a wide body. I know that I’m not the only one either.

Also remember that if you are bumping by taking the bump of someone junior, you can only bump to what that junior pilot can hold. Unless its a “closing the base” bump. So trying to take a junior pilot’s bump when you want to fly a WB, but he can’t hold WB, means you can’t bump to it, even though you can hold it.

You're going to be just fine Cozmo. If Duckdude has been here for 11 years he was one of the last pilots hired before the 2008 downturn that halted hiring until 2012. The first pilot hired in 2012 is probably 100ish numbers junior to him/her. So what that means is that a 11 years and 6 years effectively have the same bidding power.
Before the summer Duckdude and that 2012 hire will have a shot at a CA seat, and CA will drop to 5-6 years and WB FO will probably settle out in the same area maybe drop to 4.
You have made a great choice and are going to have a great 20 years welcome.
