Q400 CA vacancies still aren't being completely filled, as has been the case for almost two years. Typically about 25% of the Q400 CA vacancies go unfilled every month.

My opinion is that I'd expect this to continue to be the case for a while. In reality, they probably need to open up the E175 CA vacancies further, but it seems like they are afraid to discourage people from upgrading into the Q400. Even if the E175 does speed up, I wouldn't expect it to get under 1.5 years for the next 2-3 years, based on the number of pilots hired in the 2017-19 timeframe.
