And yes, we are talking about two different points. I'm talking about senior FOs and the ability to hold CRJ vs EJET.
And no, I'm not new, I've been here since hiring started last year, RAH /E175 refugee.
Yeah, no. He could have been a downgraded CRJ CA, of which there were a lot who waited to upgrade to the EJET. No violation of the CBA there. There were a fair number of downgrades who went for the EJET instead of going back to the CRJ. Hence, they're not "initial cadre". I know most of those "initial cadre" guys and they were not Jr CRJ CA before they went over there, our former regional chief pilot for IAD/ORD was, I think, one of the more JR guys who went to the initial cadre.
You just weren't here when all the downgrading/furloughing went on, Prior, you wouldn't have known that.
