To bid flowthrough you have to complete IOE on the jet, so the most junior CA who has bid flowthrough was hired around 7/98. Majority of flowthroughs without #s were hired early 90s. There is a lot of potential for upgrades to drop, but it would be a lot of big 'IFs' for things to work out perfectly. Basically 348+394+243= 985 CAs that have made intentions that they are going to AA eventually. The 348 flowbacks will all go, but it will be interesting to see if/when the flowthroughs will go.
Your #'s are VERY VERY optimistic. Most of the 394 with numbers will grieve hardship and retire at AE. In May of this year the flow through/back letter 3 expires. The 243 without #'s may never get to go to AA. The only definite thing is the 348, they will leave, but it could be along time before they go.
Don’t drink the Kool-Aid. Nothing ever happens or changes fast AE....
