Not going to do the statistics on command time as it was flogged to death a while ago, suffice to say command time will not be 7/8 years in the forecastable future. There was a BIIIG bulge of S/O recruits around 95-97, and this has not even started getting tapped wrt commands. Then there was the freighter integration, also a pretty bug blip on the horizon. My $0.2, it will hover around 10 years for the next 5-7 years at least. After that.... well 5 years is a long time in aviation
