Sorry - I only half answered your question. No risk of getting converted to early flying, because they can only add flying if you return to domicile within your reserve window (after 5pm/7pm). If return before then, you get at least 10 hours rest. If you get back much after 1pm, but before your reserve window, you're pretty much done for the day because by the time you get your 10 hours of rest, it'll be too late in the evening for them to use you. But then again, some of the redeye trips in the past have gone from the redeye to morning flying, but only for days 3 and 4 at the most.

If they do 10% per year like Siegel said, then upgrade would be about 6-7 years. Methinks it'll be faster (15% growth = 3-4 years).
As a 12 year employee, I'm concerned that I might not be able to hold Denver (as captain) if we open a base on the east coast. But don't worry, they pay your moving costs if it's involuntary!
