The junior E190 CA is around 3 years seniority, and for A320 CA it is around 5-6years. It doesn't matter what equipment you are currently flying, you can bid either of those upgrades whenever your seniority can hold it. I think the E190 CA will remain junior, since there will be CAs bidding to transfer from the E190 to the A320 when their seniority can hold a decent schedule on it.
Yes, E190 deliveries have been deferred until 2018 I believe. No new E190s til then (and even then I wouldn't count on it)
