Default Upgrade times

I was doing some napkin math on upgrade times and was curious where the numbers are coming from.

If Envoy is hiring 60 or so per month as they have the past five months, that is roughly 720 per year. If the numbers on APC of 1850 pilots is accurate, I would guess slightly more than half of those are captains, or say 950, leaving 900 first officers. At the rate of 60 per month, it will only be 15 months to hire 900 new first officers. I'm reasonably certain not all of the attrition is captains, but even adding 20 percent to that should mean someone hired in this wave could make it to captain in 18 months.

Or am I missing part of the equation?
