The CQFO "deal," as you call it, for the first 200 people, will be a really good deal. Why? Because when the music stops, those 200 will be able to hold Captain at their seniority. We aren't sure how it's going to work yet, but there are only 16 FOs eligible for Captain right now. There is a possibility that you can bid and hold Captain before a year is up.
Actually there are twice this many being bypassed. The number is in the 30s, not 16. And from I've been told, the majority of the CQFO hiring will be completed before all eligible FO's actually see the left seat.
