Its hard to guess what will even be available. They fill what they need and have capacity for on a class by class basis. Some classes go all to NYC. Some have ER's some don't. Most classes have 3-4 planes available though.
Someone mentioned their last 4 was 25XX. That's actually not bad. It means in large classes (100ish) they will see 25+ pilots below them that they will get to choose over.
And of course, there are 12,300+ very good reasons why no one wants to be the plug in the ER.
