Are you talking about CQF?
There is a 12 month limit on being a CQF, it takes effect Dec,1 2017

The twelve-month limit on the length of time a pilot can be required to be a CQF in Section 24.A.2.b shall be waived. Any time served as a CQF prior to December 1, 2017 shall count toward the twelve-month limit.

That's my understanding as well. The only people dual qualified are the cadre guys. However, if you are a jet FO upgrading, would they still be able to technically fly you in the right seat since you do have currency in both seats? Not sure the contract addresses this. Only thing I can see is the talk about the bottom 5%.

There is no official number, but as of today there are 300 pilots. The ideal number with the current aircraft orders is 600. Of course, this does not include people leaving due to attrition and 10 to United this year and 40 next year.

Reserve depends on what plane you're on. My guess is shorter on the jet since they are over staffed on the dash. Upgrade is as soon as you have the time. The August new hire class had 3 or 4 guys that had the time and were awarded jet captain after indoc. September new hires are all going to the jet.
