Quick answer... right now as of today-

F/O 767
Syd- 7yrs
Mel- 4yrs

F/O 737
Syd- 5yrs
Mel- 5yrs
Per- 1yr
Bne- 7yrs

Tomorrow? 6 months? 10 years? Taking known factors into account those times should be getting quicker (due to expansion). Throw in some unknown factors.... who knows?

Only other thing I'll say is that before getting into QF it was all about trying to make the next step as soon as possible, always rushing to take the next promotion, bigger a/c etc. Once you're 'in' many find the thinking changes a little. Lifestyle becomes an important factor, you work to live, not live to work.
