I am doing my due diligence. That's why I am asking the (hopefully honest) guys who fly the line here as opposed to just accepting what the recruiter says as fact. None of it really matters unless I pass the interview, of course, but in the event that I do, I want to know what my options are.
The pay may be better at ENY, and there may be a flow, but if I can't get 1,000 in 11-18 months, there may be other places willing to pay me less to fly me more.

No, ENY isn't that bad, hope you don't think I was implying that it is. In fact, from all my reading here, ALL regionals suck. It's a tough, low-paying life, to be sure. One would think with the requirement for ATP now in place, pay would have risen commensurate with the required training/time one must put in to get there.
I like the concept of the flow, but not sure I believe the 2.5/6 numbers being tossed around by recruiters. One told me he was a 9-year employee (not sure if he is FO or CA), and he said he IS going to AA soon, but didn't give me a date. So it might be in a month or a year for all I know.
ENY is still one of my top choices, unfortunately a CRJ in ORD is not my favorite choice.

That amount would be doable if you didn't end up back in long term training quickly. That killed my year, was on track to be around 600ish hours in a year and then got sent to long term on a displacement.
ENY isn't that bad, there have been a lot of us here and stuck for way too long and our patience is starting to wear. Is it gonna get better? Probably. Just hard to get most of us inside to believe the numbers being thrown out there based on what we have already been through.

So 30 upgrades a month from now until then to keep a balance of captains, especially since envoy has quit shrinking and new planes are on property. Where are the vacancies?

No. We are fat on personnel. I don't know exactly how many are projected to be needed, but we definitely don't need 30 upgrades a month. How many we need is up to management's magic number, and we don't know what that number is. It must currently be low, because they don't seem to be in much of a hurry to upgrade to meet demand.
