I honestly think this is just a way for them to get FOs. Advertise cqfo to get guys to bite when in reality they'll be on the right seat. But like it's been said I'm sure you will still upgrade pretty quick. Remember this is about the company staffing these planes, it's not about what you want, or doing you a favor.
