Well, I don't think EZY will stick with 200 airframe. The expansion may have stop for now but unlike BA,AF,LH, easy has the potential to double its size. Ryanair has over 300 planes and I think ezy will match at least that.
20 years to command would mean ezy has financial problems which is quite the opposite right now. 10 years is Unrealistic. Unlike BA, easy has no seniority system. If you join has an experienced FO with enough hours you can join the queue for command straight away. If you join as a cadet it will take at least 4-5 years before having the hours to join the queue. So if you were referring to cadets, yes, it may get close to 10 years for now, but 7-8 more likely.
How many FO's are in BA? How many FO's eligible for command are in EZY?
You will find more people's leaving than the national career and still some retiring.
Anyway, both are different but excellent airlines to work for.
I would personally choose BA as a cadet and easy as an experienced FO, but hey, we are all different

All the best for 2013
