Well, actually the numbers speak for themselves. Most new hires are not prior 121 and need their 1000 SIC.

Of 284 new hires since the most junior CA, crew quals has told me that only about 60-70 are prior 121. Take into account that 1 out 5 are bypassing for the EJET or holding out for a certain domicile. If everything stays status quo, the training department is expecting street CA in the spring.
