There are a lot of FOs between the most junior CA and the most senior FO on the list that haven't upgraded and are close to getting their 1000 hours 121.
We only have 7 more 900s and 7 or so 175s to be delivered.
It's just too hard to say, there are just too many factors in play. How many FOs will upgrade this summer? How many will continue to wait? What will attrition be like? Will there be more planes announced?
No one can truly answer your question. It took me 19 months to hold 175 CA from DOH. There was a good 12 months of that time we were not recieving any new aircraft.
