Well I'm just assuming here but back pre 2020 there was a dude in my new hire who got awarded upgrade in ground school. Half way through procedure training they found out and made him switch. Not sure what ever happened to him but I know he didn't get through sims like the rest of us, and I only beat the Rona by 6 days before they shut down Training.

I'd assume when they do the logbook review, they'll make you submit a CA bid and then have to do all the captain flows and such.

There's AM, PM. And long call reserve. Long call gets minimum of 12 hours with I think 5 days a month where they can switch you to short call. Which is a 2 hour call out.
