You can look at a bunch of this stuff on the SkyWest website:

As an FO in PHX, we have no idea where that August 2019 hire is coming from. My good friend was in the last batch to get admitted (end of January, got awarded for March ). They are a June 2019 new hire and so is the bottom guy. I was April 2019, IOE in June, and based in PHX starting Jan 2020. It's around 9 months now, including the training footprint. Amazing, considering this was an 18+ month wait not too long ago.
Captains seem to be able to get in here around the 5 year mark. One of the March awards was a PHX FO upgrading to PHX CA, he's about 4.5 years. I know another captain that's here now and they're also approaching 5 years.

I got a line my first month here, knocked down to reserve this month, hoping for at least a composite in March. I'm fortunate to be toward the top of reserve/riding the bottom of target lineholders each month, but even the people below me should be able to get off reserve in a few months. There were 6 FOs that got awarded upgrades for March, a few senior FOs that got transferred in to PHX, so there should have been a net movement up the list for everyone. However almost all those upgrades show they're still bidding in PHX, so I'm guessing they got bypassed. Looking at the RSR, we can see that the base has grown and they've been letting a lot of people in lately, and I expect this to continue as upgrades continue.
