I think the are just waiting for AE for CA on the 717. Going through training now and most instructors don't like fo/fo training.
Keep in mind that the PWA prohibits a line pilot from getting assigned an E period. Only new hires and OALs training in the sims can do an E period. I would expect to see FO/FO new hires in there in the future. The lucky ones will get paired with a captain and get the A-D periods.
