upgrades that take a long time are fine as long as theyre not given to new hires due to technicalities in how the "employee handbook" is written.
I agree. We shouldn't be hiring people direct into a plane that could be filled by a current employee. If no one will take the position then the company needs to do what they need to do. I have seen positions get filled with new hires without posting it to the rest of the pilot group a couple times now.
