I've gotta disagree with you on this one. Nobody should be bypassed on this flow through. With all this growth, NWA needed a lot of LCA's and FTI's to train the large number of pilots required to fly them. The people that have stepped up and accepted the roles of instructors should not be penalized for doing so.

And yeah, if they do freeze pilots out flowing, there will be very few left who are actually eligible to flow up. With out taking the time to check, I would guess around 75% of XJ CA's are seat locked right now.

Leave it to NWA/XJ mgmt to take an originally positive thing and screw with it until its not even really a benefit for the pilots anymore.
