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.
Lol. So low time, low experience left seaters in regional jets are OK but not in the MD-88? I'd argue that some of their flying is more challenging. I don't get your point. It's already happening, and has been for years, at the regional level.
