Perhaps I came across against the Unions actions, I'm simply putting the info out there for perspective applicants that may be banking on a lighting fast upgrade. That's what these boards are for, putting out info that you're not going to hear from a recruiter.

It's the company's fault if they don't want to award someone with 25-50 hours of having the 1000 121 requirement. My last carrier only required FO's to have their time before they entered upgrade class. This should have been addressed last year when they started awarding fairly new hires upgrades over those within reach of the requirement.
