Just over 100 hours of credit.

Junior 777 CA was hired in January of 2019.
That being said, it is most definitely not representative of things going forward. The the last vacancy award had someone hired in February 2015 awarded 747 CA, and someone hired March of 2003 awarded the 777 CA. There's going to be a lot of churn throughout the fleets now that the airline is finally merged, so prior upgrade times really don't mean anything.
I would say that 6-7 years to upgrade on the heavy fleets might be around where it evens out. Less time to upgrade on the 737.

Where they get you is if they send you Japan then they will usually send you to LA or CVG if they were trying to keep you from having having hard rest. But it is difficult for them to do that with ANC folks. Easier if you were bases somewhere else.
