Honestly I think it's bordering on a safety issue. You're taking a guy that came from flight instructing on a Cessna with the bare minimum of multi time, he gets FO 175 DFW, and then force him to upgrade at the bare minimum of 1,000 hours (when he was able to hold a line almost instantly, meaning that 1,000 hours came real quick) into different, worse equipment (145) in a domicile he's never even flown through (LGA), and guaranteed to be paired with a new hire FO that knows nothing. To me it's crazy. Hope that poor guy pays attention in training...
