The difference this time round is that Ryanair will for the first time in years stop expanding. Keep in mind that most FO's who joined a couple of years ago did so while being hammered with the same mantra over and over again.
We are constantly growing. Time to command is only 2900 hours / 3.5 years. No other airlines promotes so quickly
When the last shipment arrives from Seattle time to command for SFO's will jump by at least one to two years, minimum. There's a big incentive to stay out the window straight away.

Unlikely I'm afraid.
