Years. As in 4 to 5 years. E175 junior lineholder ranges from DOH 2013 to 2015. PLENTY of reserves. Usually 10 to 15 captain reserves per day and growing. Initially, you'll fly just to get the 100 hours consolidation in 120 days, but after that, maybe 10 to 20 hours per month. It could be a different story in 6 months. Or not.
