6 months to 2 years…. Staffing hasn’t recovered yet from the COVID shuffle. IAH is a very senior base. Rule of thumb: cheap=senior. Another thing to consider - the more senior the base the longer you will be on reserve as commuters bid in above you chasing the optimal QOL. UAL reserve is not necessarily a commuter friendly prospect.
