orrrrr he values himself as a pilot and wants to work for a decent contract. Like he said, out of the cockpit for a while. Probably just a mil guy getting current and off to UAL/AA/DAL he goes! If not, then who cares? he's building your seniority and making you closer to upgrade. Thank goodness theres an influx (however little) of guys coming to new hire training, makes it easier for us to bid for more flying.
