I didn't read the FAQ but why does everyone say CA awards will go to prior 121? The mil guys just need to fly the 1000 hrs 121 time and then off to upgrade they go.
because you have to already meet 121 captain requirements in order to be awarded a captain vacancy (voluntary or otherwise) . So a military pilot who has never flown 121 (at least 500 hrs worth maybe more depending on what they flew in the military ) would not meet the requirements and Therefore not eligible to be forced into a captain slot.
also, while the freezes start on award date , these captain slots will have an imputed award date that will be adjusted based on when they meet the requirements to train.
