Hope it doesn’t, that’s a terrible idea to make someone be in command who isn’t interested in it.
That's the way I read it. Just like newhires being forced into WBs.
If you have a class of 55 with 55 vacancies in the drop that include 7 737 CA and 3 320 CA spots would force 10 newhires into the left seat.
We'll have to wait until we can read the TA.
