I know we are in the age of instant gratification, but a reasonable career expectation is spending half your career in the right seat, and half in the left seat. There is two seats and two pilots up front after all.....
Obviously this can get skewed a bit by growth, more captains that are trainers, and more senior people (captains) having more time off, but still. And even more so if you fly long haul with two FOs and one captain.
