I do not see how this is avoidable in some capacity. At best they'll reduce upgrade mins to 1000 SIC 121 vs. 1000 with company and that will fill a few more slots. I don't think it'll be enough. We could turn out to have what PSA did for awhile...poaching other carriers for folks that have the 1000 SIC and pretty much once they finish FO IOE they'll go right to Captain school. Not quite street hires but more or less. As longer longevity FOs get their time though and finally upgrade they'll trump those guys in seniority and the streetish captains stay on reserve a LONG time. It will be very interesting to say the least.
