I see some major hiring in the near future. With the 400 being a reality, the previously short crew staffing will be critical in a very short time.
The possibility exists that new hire FOs will end up in the 100/200 fleet or the 400.
The time requirements may need to be adjusted downward, but the strength of the applicant's experience, interview and sim eval will heavily weigh on a person's chances of getting hired.
If the flight time standards decrease, the better-than-average folks will have a real advantage. Mediocre folks with low time won't stand a chance.
Upgrade times will be shorter as well. A guy is in upgrade now with just about a year on the property. That will probably get lower as well.
Get your stuff in!

Also, FEs are disproportionately high. There still aren't enough, but based on the pilots, they won't be hiring FEs until August at the soonest.
No talk about parking any classic airplanes, and the rumor is that another one is being negotiated for.
