First off, that's very quick.
Second, if this came out in the press, do you think there will be some sort of backlash by the public in regards to safety? I do not think I would want to fly with a CA in that position, nor would I want to be a CA in that position. If my wife was a FA at Delta, I do not think I'd be comfortable with that either.
But, all that being said, I'm sure there's some sort of restriction on when you can upgrade.
Seriously? I'm sure he's got plenty of flying experience PRIOR to DAL. He (She) has to pass the training and IOE. Delta isn't releasing anyone to the line who is unsafe.
GMAFB. Congrats to the guy/gal who had the stones to bid the position.
