We do not have direct entry captains. This has been mentioned time and again.
We upgrade in seniority order, and allow new hires to bid upgrade.
The last 4 upgrade classes have only filled about 50% of the posted vacancies. The junior line holder in Newark is a 11/17 hire as of the 02/19 bid.
But we just started awarding captain to new hires in December of last year, so expect that to drop dramatically as they begin to hit the line this month. There is one reserve, and 8 CQF's below him, the junior CQF is a 10/18 hire.
I would imagine all of them will be line holders by April as the first wave of captains upgrading in indoc complete IOE this month and bid for March.
