Where in our contract does it talk about street captains? How can the company in one mail tell the FOs on property to make sure the recommendations are within 6 months and in another talk about hiring captains from the street. How will the street captains fulfilled section 11E 5, and get recommendations if they are directly trained for that seat. Can the company call it operational necessity and disregard that part?

Or is it just a way for the company get people talking and get more people in the door and at the same time rattle some FOs into upgrade into the CRJ instead of waiting for the E-jet?
