Your argument is invalid. All has to do with the training and abilities. Hence colgan. How many years and thousands of hours did they have together? Don't be jealous bc you are still an FO after all these years and tying to justify how everyone needs as much right seat time as you to be safe enough to upgrade.

Cue the tl:dr response you use when you can't give a rebuttal.
