This changes constantly. Keep in mind that for a while we were tracking that the CRJs would be gone by the end of 2018. Not going to happen.
Per a message to the pilots, transfers occur at one aircraft per month until sometime in spring. Then transfers will resume again around the end of summer. CRJ flying is currently expected to continue into early 2020.
Looking at the list, a junior FO on Reserve, average time is between 30 and 40 hours per month. (~400 hours in a year)
FOs cannot bid off of equipment. They must upgrade or be displaced (equipment goes away) in order to change airframes.
There is very little hiring into the CRJ FO seat right now so any new FOs on the CRJ can expect to be on reserve until the equipment goes away. (Maybe early 2020?)
Good luck!
