How much flight time can a new 175 F/O expect

Hello everyone!
I was interested to see how much flight time a new 175 F/O can expect to accrue in their first year. I know this depends on base and whether you hold a line or not. Just looking for an approximation is all. I know it’s a moving target.
Thanks,

I'm in the bottom 10% of SEA CAs, and due to senior guys bidding reserve, I've been holding a line as a CA. Although, that might change as the Pathways now requires the 1000 PIC, and I'm somewhat expecting to be reserve now.

Life on the Ejet is descent, especially if you’re looking for a good time building and QOL combo. The Q... or so much other than you’ll spend a lot of time at home (if you live in base).
