To answer your basic question I would think the amount of time to get a line for the Bus or 73 will be pretty similar if your at a Junior base like EWR maybe a little longer at IAD. If they keep hiring and demand sticks around it should go quick, couple months.
But IMO because your time on reserve (below the G-line when reserve is not a choice) will likely be short, I would ask you in return, from which airport for NYC base would you prefer to originate? Last I saw upwards of 40 percent of 320/319 trips originate & terminate at LGA vs the vast majority of 73 is EWR.
