Just speculating. Probably not flying very much. I went straight in on the 756. Only about 300 hours the first year. Most in the 3rd seat. I don't pick up trips though. Other guys in my class got closer to 800 the first year. I know a couple of more senior FO's on the 777. They bid reserve and fly very little. What a life!! Just living the dream.
