You don't know who is the better choice until you die and your pension was still paying out (not many of those left).
Upgrade is running 2 years and 4 months as Ty mentioned. Was on the bus to the parking lot today and ran into a buddy of mine I flew with years ago. He missed upgrade by like 3 or 4 numbers and he's been here 2 years and almost 4 months.
For people hired now, expect 3 to 3 1/2 years. A lot of people bypass upgrade to keep the schedules and non-stop hiring and growth for a good while yet to come means upgrade won't slow for quite some time, barring some extreme change of aircraft delivery plans.
I didn't know CAL retirement numbers were so high either, that's great that people will upgrade that quickly!
A great choice either way, good luck to your buddy!
