Well, actually, yes, you can go from FO to Int’l RL CA. To hold domestic RL you only need to agree to work with guys close to you on the seniority list, and have the most senior group. And yes, most of today’s new FO’s are going to enjoy some sweet right seat Phenom and Lear time, and then some more left seat time for the better part of two decades before their 3 man Cell gets the RL nod.
Still, this should open your eyes a bit. KR wants only dedicated crewing. It’s his idea of how things should go, and there’s not much stopping him from working the RL model all the way down to the Flex regional fleets. Not anymore anyway.
