SEA will take longer than LAX but around 1 year is probably possible. Right now the plug on the SEA 7ER B for the three posted spring 2015 category list vary between a 11,0XX seniority and a 11, 1XX seniority number.
So with about 12,000 pilots and hiring 1000/year you are already looking at about 1 year. The good news is that as hiring continues at the current pace the time will come down even more.
SEA is unique in that it currently has no NB categories which obviously does not help new hires get there quickly. If a NB base were to open in SEA these times would come down even more.
LAX already has both 737 and 7ER Pilots assigned with seniority numbers above 12,000.
