As far as CA to CA maybe no one requested it.
First, it isn’t a street captain program, but close to it. Envoy’s program hires a pilot at 950 hours, provides a $45,000 signing bonus, pays you CA pay from day one....
I never said how many hours our pilots had. However, it is my understanding they go in seniority order for any pilot who is “captain qualified” and bids for an upgrade. If this incorrect, let me know.
If that is correct, that means anyone who already had 1,000 121 time and two captain recommendations would have been awarded that was more senior. When you dip over 200 FO’s into the seniority list to find an upgradeable FO, it is pretty clear that anyone with enough time would be awarded. And, we only awarded half the awards than was included in the standing bid —- which means anyone who was qualified and bid got the award.
