Dirty little secret, half the list are FO's. Worse yet, time to CA numbers are bogus. Upgrades occur when the upper half leaves or if growth occurs - good luck with that happening. Worse yet, if the airline shrinks the bottom of the CA half gets to be the top of the FO half again - which is more likely the case at AE if the 135's are mothballed.
