I am below 2500 on the list and I move up 12 or so a month. The movement is on the bottom of the list not the top. There are many aircraft coming off of contract this year and very likely will not be renewed.
There are tons of 5-6 year guys that are just waiting till they can hold a line to upgrade.

Lol. Ok. There are almost 450 FOs who have bypassed. They are not all waiting to be able to hold a line. It's trends and statistics, but you can call it whatever you want.

450 pilots have bypassed because none of them want to be reserves ever again. When the most junior line holder drops there will be many more standing bids put in.
I'm not trying to crush your dreams, It's just the reality. New guys being told that we are going to a two year upgrade is just wrong.
Even with 40 more 175's that's only 200 more captains.
This doesn't make sense, if they keep the current pace of upgrades. 2012 hires will be upgrading in 3-4 months, which will keep the upgrade time around 4 years, maybe slightly below.

Where can we see DOH? I've yet to find a seniority list that shows it.

You have been on property a year. Let me know how those dreams work out to reality.... The upgrade will be just like the 175. No one bid for it but after it gets established the Bolton of the list is forever reserve.
