Makiko,
I can assure you that CX pilots who joined in 2006 and early 2007 got their commands on the Airbus in 10.5 years.
It then slowed down to 14-15 years with COVID, and now returned to as low as 8 years.
A lot of cadets and also direct entry pilots who were not part of the “core team” during C19 do not currently meet the TT requirement for a command course and are getting bypassed.
Lots of 777 FOs were making more than an Airbus Captain back then with double the time off, decided not to take it either.
These are the facts and stop arguing unless you know someone senior enough in CX and who was employed back then.
There was never a 14 year requirement, not sure where you got that BS from.
PM me if you want to discuss further and let it go please.
