FWIW, I’m a 2016 hire been here approaching 2 years, I have 1000 SIC at compass but PH won’t let me upgrade until I hit 1500ME. So the real choke on upgrading pilots is the CBA minimums for some of us in the upper 1100’s on the seniority list
I find it hard to believe they’re going to be able to hang on to those minimums, but maybe that’s the hope talking
