That's exactly true. He's reiterating our point. Except we're trying to make it so we aren't forced to lie about our time. The CP keeps telling the union "The FAA says you have to have that time in order to check off that box on the staffing bid saying you have the time" Tell me where in the regs it's says ANYTHING about bidding... Having the time at the start of class is a no brainer, but not for a bid that may not effect you for months down the road. Besides, in the past we had captains bypass a few upgrade classes because they weren't 23 at the time...
