When Andy was hired, he could expect to be off reserve in 1-2 months. Unfortunately for many it didn't work out that way.
The very same thing could happen again. Hopefully not.
When I was hired as a 727 FE many of my Captains had only been a Capt for a couple of years. They had been FE's themselves for 17 years, FO's for 2 years, and then Captains.
You never know how it is going to turn out.
