The last captain bid was full, as I would expect all future upgrade bids. With a 5 year upgrade, a lot of FO's (except those over 5 years enjoying QOL and/or too close to retirement) will jump at any chance to upgrade, regardless of base/equipment.
No one knows when the next one will come out. Rumors of hiring 300 or so more pilots are out there, I would assume upgrades will run in association to that (obviously not in such large numbers.)

Expect to spend about a year on reserve at Comair, and it has been my experience that you won't fly a whole lot while on reserve. I have been with the company for just over 13 months, and can barely hold a line..and just under 500 hours for the whole 11 months I've been out of training.
Don't get me wrong, I actually enjoy working at Comair. And judging the current state of the industry, Comair actually seems like a rather stable company to be working for...at this time.
