You will really start shaking when you think that there are some folks moving into their second aircraft as PIC. These folks have just a little more than the 1000 SIC and no experience in the new aircraft in the right seat at all.

1150 in 18 mos. That includes training and taking a month off. However, I wasn't on reserve very long.

I had exactly 1150 at the 18 month point as well. I was even out of flying on medical for almost a month, too.

Training + a few months of reserve and not picking up any extra flying could easily mean taking 18-24 months to hit that 1000 121.

At Trans states it seems to be somewhere between 20-22 months. Last fall and winter a lucky few were upgraded with only 7-9 months at the company, but we'd need to see some more movement and/or get some big new hire classes to see upgrades drop below the one year mark again.

That's my goal to fly 4o hours and less a month... No reason to kill yourself for this industry

Endeavor's junior CA on the last award is a Mar 2016 hire. JFK 200 CA. Obviously has previous 121 experience to have the required time.
