I joined over 6 years ago and am not expecting to upgrade until at least 7 and a half years have passed....possibly 8.it is all a matter of timing and luck here. Some of us feel really shafted, others seem to have been quite lucky in comparison. FWIW, around 14000 hours total time, nearly 7 years of wide body time and 10 years of previous command time, albeit under the magic 55 tonnes though. Think very carefully before signing the dotted line if time to command is a big factor for you. Am airbus here.
