That being said, those junior pilots who put in a bid for the 88A and are not on the 88, will have their hands full and the training department won't cut them any slack.

Let's see how this all shakes out.
I have no idea about the pilot and I am sure he is awesome, as are pretty much all the new hires I have flown with, but the fact that Delta Air Lines awarded a mainline Capt position to someone only on property for 4 months is truly unprecedented. How fast are upgrades at UAL, AA or LUV? Are they dealing with this issue?
