The Bottom Capt on this bid is still a pre merger pilot.

While it's 'great' to talk about 5 year Captains. It's still no where near in sight.
Maybe we can revisit this once we start having post merger pilots being eligible to upgrade, but the reality is.. it's still years away.

* One of the benefits of flying for a carrier that has a LOT of wide body flying is that pilots can sit right seat on a wide body until they feel that they can bid left seat on a narrow body and make more money for just a little more work vs. being bottom Capt on a narrow body, working your butt off for 73(ish) hours of pay.

Every bid that comes out will have some junior guy who jumps at being Captain, but the reality is.. he will be bottom guy for YEARS to come, as those of us wait till we can hold it at 70-80% thereby bypassing reserve~

PS) Congrats on all the future New Captains~ 130 Captains is a nice bid.
