That was the case for guys who joined 4 years ago or earlier. Don't expect that to happen in the future. A guy joining now will be about number 1500 on the seniority list. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out approximately how many aircraft you'd need to have, before moving to the Left seat, taking into account retirements (of which there will not be many as the average age of crew is quite young).
Add to this the unknown number of DECs that will be parachuted-in, as and when convenient.
