With the announcement of a yet another Michael Burnham, I'm curious which remaining Star Trek Discovery bridge crew member would you like to see next?

Yeah, probably an oversight on my part not to include her.

He had more screen time than Torchbearer whatshisface

I'd like Airiam to be explained/explored a bit more because we've never seen an alien like her before (aside from the borg maybe, or the binars), but sadly she seems to just be plopped in there like "look at this cool cyborg alien" without any explanation or exploration into her character (which could theoretically be pretty interesting).

I wholeheartedly agree that so far, Airiam has had entirely too little screen time. I didn't even know her name until several episodes into the season, when I finally Googled her. I'm only cognizant of her name having been spoken onscreen maybe twice, and one of them was last week. I'm totally down for seeing her be developed.
That said, I also kinda do appreciate that there hasn't been any conspicuous origin story for what kind of being she is. It's been almost refreshing that Airiam has so far been just another crew member. I think that speaks to the core message of inclusion, that we haven't had any stories gawking about what she is or where she came from, etc. We don't know anything about her, but the characters presumably do, and that's good enough for me. It allows Airiam to be a quiet bridge crew member and not an ambassador for her entire race the way Spock, Data, Worf, and Odo often were.
That said, any in this list (and Landry) would be welcome in my crew.

I agree that it's refreshing to not have "oh my god look at this alien character being all alien-y" stuff in regards to Airiam, but I do feel that, like Saru, she is could presumably have a more unique perspective on certain things, if she were allowed more space and character development. And part of Star Trek has always been an exploration of humanity through the more alien characters, but not in a "gawking" way and more of a "they seem so different but actually they're not" kind of way.
Basically, right now she seems like an interesting character concept/design that is being neglected, and DSC is in dire need of more engaging characters (Burnham is already character concept that IMO has been wasted).

If I have to google these names, then they are not established enough to warrant a card. Particularly when we have other characters from other series who are long overdue an appearance in Timelines.
There may be a time when these Discovery characters come into their own and grow in character. That will be when they deserve a card.

As I said, I'm totally with you on wanting her to go from background to being an actual character. Same goes for the other bridge personnel. With the main cast, I feel they've done a remarkable job in short time establishing a specific voice for each character, and also for their relationships with one another. It'd be nice to see them expand that to include the support staff.
I will also note that I think without making much about it, they've done some important stuff with Detmer throughout this season. Who would have guessed that the scornful woman Burnham encountered aboard the Discovery would have followed Tilly's lead in last week's episode? (Ambiguously written so as not to spoil anything.)

Keyla is great, and we definitely need to see her, but Landry is a MUST!
(but for real, Landry would be cool)
Ditmer's ins't? She has fire in her soul, and the souls of those she takes.

Biggest omission so far from tha game as far as I can see (though not technically discovery crew - yet) is l’rell. She’s been integral to a lot more plot than some of the 5* characters we’ve seen.
About Airiam. The after trek show originally had her listed as “Augmented Alien”, but the show runners corrected them that she’s an “Augmented Human”. Seems strange to use the word “Augment” when that means something else in the Star Trek universe. There’s definitely an interesting back story to come.
