While this is true, the class you're referencing was very small. The class before that awarded for december had 30 guys in it and went very jr. There were even some new hire Captains in it. So had you had your 1000 hours and had your bid in, you would have very easily held it. What you said isn't incorrect but it isn't painting the full picture either. Don't get me wrong, I'm not justifying anyone coming here for a quick upgrade at all because I believe that ship has most likely sailed but the class you're referencing is the only class in quite some time that has gone to senior FOs only.
