We need CAs. Tired of the phone constantly ringing at all hours for junior man calls.
Rumor has it our number one FO finally took the plunge and is waiting for OE. I texted him congrats.

How much flight time can a new hire FO expect the first year?

I think most people average about 700 to 800 hours a year.

Does Air Wisconsin have a 2,500 hour total time minimum to upgrade? I have my 1,000 hours 121 (500 mil PIC) and unrestricted ATP but about a year short on the 2,500 total time.

Trust me, it's going to take a lot longer than 18-24 months to even hold a Captain line. Upgrade is still at approximately 6 years. Perhaps you can get lucky and upgrade at 4 years but the 2,500 should be the least of your concerns going there.

Upgrade right now is at 4 years and dropping.

It's indeed 4 and about to drop significantly.

Just because the newest CA's have been here for 6 years doesn't mean it's going to take 6 years to upgrade if you came to ZW now. There are some pretty big time gaps in the seniority list.
