Many FO's got royally screwed in the seniority list integration, making them 8 year FO's.
There were several years of not hiring any new hires which stagnated everything. The aggressive hiring of new hires plus CA movement to majors etc should in theory speed up upgrade.
This in no way implies that you will upgrade in 2-3 years.
