I haven't heard that yet but that really wouldn't make much sense to me. The AirTran guys can't upgrade until after 2015 and that's only if SWA is offering upgrade classes after 2015. If the senior FO's were to upgrade now, they would hold a captain seat unless something drastically bad happens with SWA, which I highly doubt is going to happen. Bypassing upgrade to not be junior to the AirTran guys who upgrade after 2015.....IF they even get a chance to upgrade, would be a little odd. Just my $.02
