It means the most junior pilot that was awarded captain was hired in Dec 2013.
That means it has only been 13-14 months since getting hired that that pilot upgraded. Some people project forward and will say that the current upgrade time is therefore 13-14 months, but it doesn't always mean that. Whether upgrades stay that short depends on future attrition and aircraft deliveries.
