So the 45 captains currently on the list have already accounted for jan/feb/March. There are approximately 50-60 captains waiting to interview in the next few months, based of past performance approx 60% of those captains with interviews in the next few months will get CJOs, so that will be an additional 30 or so captains that will be placed ahead of current first officers holding CJOs, so those 30 captains will then account for April and May. IF there are no more captains that interview then there are currently about 40 first officers with CJOs (again this does NOT include the folks from this week) those 40 first officers account for June/July/August, so a first officer who got hired this week is definitely looking at sept/October/November 2016. Remember tho, if more captains receive CJOs that will push first officers further and further down the list. These are just rough estimates. Still a great position to be in tho.
