In an effort to secure more flow slots for our oft overlooked Protected Pilots and help mitigate delays getting our First Officers into the left seat, the First Officer Advancement Program will allow the company to take reserve FOs with 800-949.99 hours at the end of the ATTOT window and add available flying onto the FO's scheduled reserve days.
Will allow
the company to assign flying to reserve FOs? I'm assuming this is for new hires with prior 121 looking to upgrade ASAP? Any senior FOs who are on reserve are on there for the exact opposite reason, delaying that upgrade. I guess 800 is the new number to avoid. Although if this is what we're getting instead of CA pay increases and general reserve improvements I guess there's no longer a reason to delay the upgrade then, is there?
