Junior EWR756CA is a June 2022 hire. That's 4 years on property by the time they hit training. Pretty incredible, even if that flying won't be anything approaching good for quite a while. Still opportunities to pick good trips up at the last minute on days off, perhaps.
Widebody CA down to 53xx, although in actuality that's probably around 5000 on the active list given retirements since last August.
I'm curious what is going to happen to widebody CA once the 756 fleet is gone. Since the 767s are being replaced by 787s it stands to reason that the widebody CA number will fall below its current location as the mid-pay 756 fleet is replaced in part by widebodies. Could it fall to 7000 or more? Obviously we won't know until those fleets are gone which is years off, but it's something I've been curious about.
Beyond that, plenty of widebody FO slots awarded to folks <3 years on property.

For all hired prior to 2019 maybe. Those of us hired 2025+ will not have remotely close to those career expectations. Not even in the same galaxy.
