Default Unfilled vacancies and activation timeline

So it looks like EWR 756 FO is going to have an awful lot of turnover. Including maybe 70-80 new hires getting awards in the category before summer.

If I were to bid the seat today, the vacancy bidding page says I'd be around 85%. Not very attractive as I'm bidding around 55% in EWR 737. But add in those 70 new hires, and that percentage shoots up to around 70%. Which sounds far more comfortable. But what is the timeline for ALL that training to happen? I know it could start as early as January. Or maybe as late as April. But if I'm first in the queue, before all the guys who have bid off head to school, and before all the new hires are on the fleet, could I be looking at sitting reserve as far down as the mid 90s% for a few months before everything shakes out? There really isn't any way to know, is there?
