There's no one in that boat right now. The email said anyone with the time would be awarded the upgrade. There are B1900 guys who are being held back (meaning they've been awarded the left seat of the jet, but won't be released from the 1900 to go to class). From what I understand, they have begun to let those guys go to class as they shrink and eventually eliminate the fleet.
