Does anyone have definitive information for expected time to command with the major EU carriers?

I am asking as a recently qualified newbie who is about to start hunting that first elusive job. Apologies if this has been done to death before, I just couldn't find this in the forum - might be time to get some up to date info anyway.

Let me start the ball off with;
Ryanair: about 3-4 years, upon reaching 3000 hrs (500 on type), unfrozen ATPL
FlyBE: again about 3-4 years, 2500 hrs (500 on type), unfrozen ATPL

Not getting a little ahead of ourselves are we?

Way ahead it appears. There's also a small requirement called "ability."
