I'm curious to know why you ask the question.
If it is to decide which airline to work for, then I think this question should be one of many questions asked.
In isolation, time to command means very little, it is a very small snapshot of a very big picture.

easyJet A319/A320 soon to include A321. Minimum time is 5 years, 3500 hours (easyjet factored). Average time is 5.5-6 years.
FO's that have joined from a TP operator with plenty of hours took around 3 years.

In TUI (Thomson) it has been around 10-15 years. It looks like that will drop down to about 4 years though for those to be upgraded in time for summer 2019.
The aviation industry is going through the best of times and 4 years to command in TUI is about as good as it gets! If you remember that the airline industry is notoriously cyclical then those joining mature airlines like TUI now, may we’ll be joining at the top of the wave and end up waiting a long, long time before their turn comes around. I know - it happened to me!🛫
