It would seem like this would take almost everyone upgrading to captain at 1000 hours SIC just to keep the aircraft flying. How many actual block hours are FOs, especially junior FOs, flying in a month?
At Horizon many newbie E-175 FOs are mostly sitting on their butts while at Skywest they are on reserve forever, then have to switch to a CRJ out of ORD to upgrade.
Why the huge throughput at Compass, a company that no longer has a flow to the majors?

Couple that with a (relatively) new company that everyone has either had the opportunity to flow or been in the industry only at a time when people are hiring like crazy, and we have almost no lifers, so everyone and their mom is trying to move on.
