I've only been he since January but have already met quite a few second officers
Working here for 6-11 months and some have not flown yet. I met one who had a Qatar ID issue and has been here since last summer without starting training.
Right now they seem to be putting the most importance on Captains.
I have noticed things change rapidly here and you may unexpectedly get a call... But I wouldn't stop looking for other opportunities in the mean time.
